Distance & Electronic Learning Academy

Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School

PDLCS knows not all students are the same. If you are not the same as your classmates, then why is your education exactly the same?

We offer an online alternative (for students K-12th grade) to help you be more actively engaged in your education.

And, we are more than just a different way to attend class.
We offer many programs and activities giving you more ways to expand on your school experiences. If you thought it was just attending classes from home, THINK AGAIN!

Learn more about what we offer to make your school experience unique and just right for you.

If the current school for your child isn’t meeting your needs, we offer a proven, successful alternative. We recognize that every student comes to us as an individual with unique abilities, talents, and needs. If your student resides in Pennsylvania and is eligible to attend K-12th grade, they may apply for PDLCS.

We combine state-of-the-art technology with the ability of families to be thoroughly involved in their child’s education. And we do it tuition-free!
