What about Screen Time?

3-Nov-08-2024-04-52-28-7170-PM

Due to the nature of our model, children will need to use a significant amount of technology to attend school. However, we ensure there are more than enough breaks throughout the school day so children have time away from the computer screen. This allows students to move around a little and get outside to enjoy the fresh air. Our curriculum also includes hands-on work, like art projects, science experiments, and workbook pages. As long as your family’s schedule permits for it, students can attend scheduled outings in their local area. Additionally, our local virtual school offers a number of socialization opportunities, including field trips, volunteer opportunities, and a wide variety of student clubs.

Creating a Safe, Comfortable Space for Your Child

Problems like bullying, gossip, and peer pressure can cause your child to have a negative experience at their brick-and-mortar school. This may be exactly why you’re considering our online charter school. Because our education is based in the home, parents/guardians have more control over their child’s environment. You can create a space that is physically and emotionally safe for your child to learn and develop in. So, if you're trying to find a cyber school near Lehigh County, reach out to us today. We proudly serve families in Allentown, Emmaus, and Macungie as well as in Bucks County.
