In 1999 the Intermediate Units of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties saw the need for a cyber school to serve their students, but they wanted to ensure that the school offered high quality education. These IUs and their 64 member school districts formed our school in 2001. The four IU executive directors, along with two school district superintendents from each county and several parents, serve as our charter school board. Our board has a tremendous amount of experience in education, and its members take an active role in guiding our school. 21CCCS provides a unique blend of a rigorous, personalized curriculum, highly qualified instructional staff, and a supportive educational community. Our students thrive in this environment and have been very successful according to state standards.
