A High-Quality Online Education, With Flexibility & Support That Will Help Your Student Thrive
Online School for Future Leaders
When it comes to online charter schools in PA, The Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School sets the standard for delivering a robust, quality education to students from across the Commonwealth. With best-in-class teachers, the latest online learning tools, and the flexibility that driven students need in today’s busy world, online school at PALCS sets students up for future success no matter what they wish to achieve.
A Well-Rounded Education
At PALCS, we pride ourselves on our academically challenging, knowledge-based curriculum. But above all, we aim to prepare our students to be creative, natural and reasoned thinkers. We want students to engage, problem-solve, and grasp the concepts that shape today’s world. Thanks to the latest online computer technology and a team of exceptional teachers, we provide a well-rounded, rigorous education with a level of flexibility you won’t find in traditional brick-and-mortar schools.
Leadership Development
Our students have big ideas, big goals, and the drive to become leaders in school and beyond. To support and encourage this, we teach beyond the textbook. We engage students with group projects, teamwork on critical thinking exercises, and shared dialogue and debate in the classroom. This prepares students to excel as they make their way through school and head off into the world. In fact, many PALCS students develop positive leadership attributes that set them up for success no matter what they strive to accomplish.
Learn at Your Own Pace
We realize that not all students learn at the same pace. So although our curriculum surpasses PA state standards, our teachers have the flexibility to adapt lessons to the individual abilities of each student. This flexibility allows students to accelerate their studies in areas where they master the subject matter quickly, while slowing lessons down and providing extra support for students who need it. Our innovative online learning platform has been designed from the ground up to support this type of flexibility, and it is one of the many features that sets PALCS apart.
Flexibility When You Need It
Today’s students manage far more hectic schedules than their parents’ generation, and when you layer in sports, music, work, and other interests, it can quickly become unmanageable. At PALCS, we provide a mix of live classes via video conference, pre-recorded classes, project work, group projects and individual study. Thanks to our innovative online learning portal, teachers can communicate with and oversee student work no matter when it is performed. That allows students to fulfill their passions beyond the classroom while achieving a high-quality education at the same time.
Beyond the Virtual Classroom
One of the things students and parents appreciate most about PALCS is that school extends beyond the classroom. Thanks to group projects, clubs, field trips, arts exploration, and other initiatives, students have plenty of opportunity to socialize, get to know their peers, and make lifelong friendships. PALCS students have attended the symphony, cheered at sporting events, and travelled to Paris, France. Best of all, they informally connect with their friends on a daily basis just like a brick-and-mortar school. We encourage connection, and PALCS families relish this!
