DESIGNED

TO MEET YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS For a lot of people, traditional schooling isn’t the best fit.

That’s where Commonwealth Charter Academy comes in.

With tuition-free, public cyber education from CCA, our students take classes from Pennsylvania-certified teachers in a way that works for their family.

This flexibility provides a customizable, personalized school experience for your child — and your family.

If you’re looking for a school that meets your family’s needs, check us out at ccaeducate.me or call (toll-free) 844-590-2864.

Come meet our teachers and talk to other parents at an open house session. For dates near you, visit ccaeducate.me/open-house.

child has a gift.

“Every We excel at helping to unwrap it.”

Sometimes, it starts with a twinkle in the eye. Just a little spark of curiosity that soon blossoms into a journey of discovery, learning and achievement. That’s because at our private special education schools, we see beyond a child’s disability, and awaken the joy and creative expression within.

Our schools are welcoming places where students feel at home and are able to enjoy a rich and rewarding social life. Our students feel cherished, well cared for and respected for a very good reason—it is part of our mission and our commitment. Students at our special education schools experience a school day as it should be—filled with discovery, achievement, learning and friendship. Here, they have people they know they can count on— outstanding teachers, therapists, counselors, psychologists and job coaches who constantly encourage and support them. With individualized attention, on-site therapies and vocational training, our schools deliver unparalleled services for students with special needs.

Our New Jersey Department of Education certified special education teachers, licensed therapists and counselors provide expert, advanced instruction and support … along with plenty of smiles.

These unique services are provided at NO COST for families.
