Elementary School

Student success is at the heart of every decision we make at our virtual elementary school. Your child’s team includes a principal, assistant principal, teachers, nurses, guidance counselors, family support coordinators, and more. The team works together to fine-tune an academic plan that meets your child where they are right now and challenges them but doesn’t overwhelm them.

We find opportunities for students to excel, and give them additional support where they struggle. We are one of the best elementary cyber schools in PA.

There is nothing better to put hard work into than your child and their education (video).

At our online elementary school, we offer two instructional formats: synchronous and asynchronous. For families who prefer a more structured schedule as well as daily interaction with a PA-certified teacher and other students, we offer live (synchronous) classes held in a virtual classroom setting. For families that prefer more flexible schedules and independent learning, we offer self-directed (asynchronous) courses, supervised by a PA-certified teacher. In the asynchronous format, PA Virtual teachers plan the students' coursework, supervise their progress, and are available to support student needs daily. Learning Coaches work alongside their children in both formats.   

We work with you to provide the structure or flexibility that your child needs.

Kindergarten builds the foundation for every child’s education. Especially for parents of younger students, the flexibility of choosing either the synchronous or asynchronous model (see above) can help them plan a day that makes sense for their child. At PA Virtual, our kindergarteners flourish with our rich curriculum, dedicated teachers, and the active participation of their parents. Just like in your local school district, our kindergarteners have the same teacher for all subjects. We also provide all of the materials your child needs for the year, including curriculum and hands-on manipulatives to help excite creative and curious young learners.

Check out our Curriculum By Grade page for more information about the courses your child will explore in their first year. To ensure your child is eligible for kindergarten enrollment with PA Virtual, please check your local district's age requirement. You can also review our Kindergarten Readiness Checklist as you prepare your child for kindergarten. Contact us if you're wondering, "Are there local kindergarten cyber schools near me?"
