Research Agora Cyber Charter School charter Schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Agora is a Cyber school which means that the parent is the primary instructor. There are numerous multisensory activities provided with each lesson. Teachers are readily available to offer further suggestions if needed. The principal is open and accessible and is quick to act and respond. There are many online clubs for each age as well as site based blended programs through the state that meet bi-weekly for activities, lessons, and field trips. There are monthly outings sponsored by the school at no cost throughout the state. Gladys Stefany, Milford, Pike, PA Agora Parent”

“Keep in mind... YOU are your child's teacher! There is a 'teacher' however she/he is basically doing administrative work and meets w/ your child for a mere 30-45m per month. The curriculum is impressive, but extremely demanding as well. Child is allowed to work at their pace - fast or slow; but if you hit a glitch to re-explain things, you really don't have any other lesson options. You, as the parent, have the sole burden as a teacher. I'm confused as to why the principal is getting 5 stars, as her contact w/ parents/kids was barely existant from my elementary standing. There are no extra-curricular activities other than an end-of-the year outing (?) so I'm puzzled.”

“This is my grandsons' 2nd year with Agora. When he first started he had shut down, because he was always teases and bullied. He has delayed learning and has difficulty expressing himself, so he was labelled dumb, stupid etc. It wtook a while for him to come around. His teachers are great. The interaction with special workshops and Ellimunate sessions have really helped him understand different subjects in a different light. Wish he had started earlker”

“I am a 'first time to charter school' parent and after the first week, so far I am impressed with the organization and the personal contact. A few technical glitches the first week on the Agora side made things a little tense but in hindsight that wasn't that bad. Looking forward to a great year,”

“I had my children previouly in a brick & mortar school, and had nothing but problems. My son who has ADHD was being bullied everyday and teachers rarely did anything about it. He went from failing at his previous years to getting good grades. He was able to work at his own pace. My daughter who was failing, now I am able to work with her one on one. The brick & mortar schools were passing her just to advance her. I love agora, the teachers are great and really help out when they are needed. They are there to answer questions, and have small groups with help or one on one.”

“My ADHD son thrived at Agora this past year. In his brick & mortar school, he could not sit still in class, kept getting into trouble and their way of dealing with him was to kick him out and let him just roam the halls! He went from failing grades at this local dysfunctional middle school to A's & B's commenting 'I'm actually learning now' We started out thinking cyber school would just be a temporary solution and he would go on to high school but it has proven to be a great experience for all of us and we plan to continue through graduation. Agora has wonderful caring teachers great curriculum through K12. I can't praise it enough!”

“We love Agora and have had a very positive year. Wonderfull teachers and a terrific head of school. Thank you Agora!”

“My daughter is a Senior this year. We are very happy with the program. She is doing well and support is available when needed. Has been accepted to all of the Colleges of her choice.”

“We are extremely pleased with Agora. We tried another charter school and the administration was horrendous! The staff and leaders of Agora are top notch. Agora allows those of us who would homeschool but have difficulties in organization and planning lessons to enjoy teaching our own children. K12 is the best program on the market -- and teamed with Agora - it's a win-win combination.”

“We are very pleased with Agora Cyber Charter School. Our son is gifted and the K12 curriculum provided by Agora fits our son's special GIEP needs.”

“This program is the greatest thing that has ever happened for my son academically. He has regained his self-esteem and is thriving academically within this program. His teachers are motivational, supportive and inspiring. The change in my son has been nothing short of miraculous. I cannot praise the teachers, staff, and curriculum enough. This program allows my son to work to mastery and his standardized tests scores show that. What a wonderful gift Agora is to my son and our family. This program works.”

“A great alternative to brick and mortar school as well as traditional homeschooling. Provides the majority of materials needed, as well as offers a loaned computer to students to facilitate in the study and learning process. Assistance for almost any concern is available at request. Friendly, supportive admin's so far.”
