COLLEGE AND CAREER PREPARATION
Be Future-Ready
When students are given the unique opportunity to learn the way they learn best, they are set up for a bright future. At Pennwood Cyber Charter School, we’re passionate about helping students achieve their goals and prepare for their future – whatever that may look like for them. We offer:
UNIQUE CAREER READINESS & BADGING FOCUS
Pennwood students have the opportunity to earn high school credit, industry certification, and college credit simultaneously. We also offer individualized aptitude assessments, career coaching, and internship/mentorships opportunities designed to help students build portfolios showcasing their experiences. We will offer a unique badging program, designed to help students stay engaged and motivated, earn vital career and life skills, and stay on track academically. Badges cover three areas:
- Career Competency badges, focused on Career Education
- Engagement badges, focused on school culture and building responsible citizens
- Skills badges, focused on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Career Readiness Standards
EXTENDED 3-WEEK CONNECTIONS TERM
All Pennwood students take part in in a three-week Connections Term (“C-Term”) in March, in addition to the standard 180 school days. This session helps build a school culture that emphasize the importance of career education and work standards. Partnering with Drexel’s Goodwin College, high school students who are on track for graduation will participate in project-based learning, while students in grades K-8, will complete a career and college preparation course based on the Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards. All students will undergo test preparation during the session. When necessary, students may focus on remediation or credit recovery during this term.
