YORK, PA — Pennwood Cyber Charter School has officially opened statewide enrollment for its 2025-2026 academic year, inviting K-12 students across Pennsylvania to experience an innovative approach to online education. Known for its personalized curriculum and comprehensive career readiness programs, the school provides a flexible educational environment designed to prepare students for success in academics and future careers.
Now entering its second year, Pennwood Cyber Charter School offers a nationally recognized Connections Academy curriculum, taught by state-certified teachers. Students have access to robust core and elective courses, alongside opportunities in socialization, clubs, and interactive events—both virtual and in person—creating a well-rounded educational experience.
A notable feature of the program is its strong emphasis on career readiness. Students in grades K-8 participate in age-appropriate career exploration, while high school students have access to partnerships with industry leaders such as Drexel University’s Goodwin College of Professional Studies, Coursera, and Home Depot Path to Pro. These programs enable students to earn high school diplomas alongside college credits or industry-recognized certifications, providing essential skills like leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork.
“We’re delighted to welcome new and returning students back for another enriching year at Pennwood Cyber Charter School,” said Chris Moser, CEO of Pennwood Cyber Charter School. “Empowering our students to achieve their goals is at the heart of what we do. We’re committed to delivering a high-quality curriculum through various course offerings that engage our students and equip them with the tools they need to succeed now and in the future.”
One of Pennwood’s standout offerings is the three-week Connections Term, also known as “C-Term.” Extending beyond the traditional 180-day academic calendar, C-Term provides K-12 students with opportunities for credit recovery, virtual internships, independent study projects, and experimental courses. High school students can take college preparatory courses through Drexel University, while younger students engage in career and college preparation aligned with Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards.
Additionally, the school prioritizes mental health through a partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection, offering families access to ParentGuidance.org. This resource provides expert-led courses, confidential parenting coaching, and guidance to support youth mental well-being. “At Pennwood Cyber Charter School, we are committed to providing mental health support to all our families,” stated Colette Kenny Verdes, Manager of Counseling.
