There are plenty of myths or misconceptions about cyber schools. In fact, we have a whole post on it. However, one of the biggest misconceptions is that there is nothing for a student to do outside of their schoolwork. This couldn’t be further from the truth. 

Imagine if you could take a history class where the figures you’re learning about came to life and told their story.  Sounds like something out of a movie right?  Well, in Mr. Peter Mysels’ History of the Holocaust class at PA Distance Learning, his students are getting to do just that.

One of the great things about school is you have a choice of which public school to enroll your child in. You can enroll your child in the school district in which you reside, a brick and mortar charter school, a cyber charter school, or a private school just to name a few. 

During the month of September we asked our students, families and staff at PA Distance Learning to submit entries into our "Name Our School Panda Mascot" contest. The Top 10 names were Pandora, Apple, Bamboo, Bao Bao, Pomme, Atlas, Craig, Jade, Po, and Padi Stance. Our entire student body was then asked to vote for their favorite name and on Monday, September 30th, we revealed the winning name... Bamboo!

The 2019-2020 school year may the furthest thing from your child’s mind right now. They are probably more focused on their summer break, a family vacation, or their summer sports schedule. That’s certainly OK, but it’s never too early to be thinking about the 2019-2020 school year - regardless of your child’s age. 

The short answer is, yes there are online kindergarten schools in Pennsylvania. In fact there are quite a few. One of them being PA Distance Learning Charter School.
