WAYNE, Pa., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, students from Agora Cyber Charter School will begin online classes for the start of the 2010-2011 school year.  Agora Cyber Charter School teachers and staff have been traveling across Pennsylvania meeting their students to prepare them for an exciting and productive school year using the award-winning K12 curriculum. The virtual school is a high-quality, tuition-free public school that creates an individualized online learning experience for each child.  

"At Agora Cyber Charter School we customize academic programs to each child's specific learning needs, supported by the best certified teachers in the state of Pennsylvania," said Sharon Williams, Head of School for Agora Cyber Charter School. "This time of year should remind all of us how important public school choice is for parents and children.  We can't wait for another successful school year to begin."  

Pennsylvania was one of the first states to embrace online public charter schools. Agora, which serves students statewide from kindergarten through high school, is a popular option for a growing number of families.  This innovative learning program provides an education that meets or exceeds state standards, and students demonstrate their knowledge and skills through state standardized tests. With individualized learning approaches, Agora Cyber Charter School and K12 provide the tools kids need to succeed in school and beyond.

Agora creates a balanced approach toward education, using computers, text books and caring teachers who provide instruction, guidance and support. Computers help provide effective assessment, planning, and time-management tools. Computers also act as powerful teaching tools that can motivate, stimulate, and inform children about the world around them. This unique multimedia approach also includes the use of traditional books, workbooks, and instructional materials. The strong relationships between caring teachers and families create a world class education for any student in Pennsylvania.

Agora Cyber Charter School is available to all families in Pennsylvania.  The school continues to accept enrollment applicants and is hosting multiple events for students and teachers, as well as online showcases and information sessions.  For a complete list of events and information on enrollment, visit www.k12.com/agora/
