York, Pa. June 28, 2024 – Pennwood Cyber Charter School, Pennsylvania’s newest cyber charter school, announces the hire of Chris Moser as the school’s CEO. Moser has a distinguished career in education with over 20 years of experience in K-12 education.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chris Moser as the CEO; she impressed us with her dedication to student achievement, commitment to fostering an inclusive and collaborative school community, and vision for the future of our school,” said Marc LeBlond, President of the Pennwood Cyber Charter School’s Board.
As CEO, Moser will work closely with administrators, teachers, and staff to provide a high-quality virtual learning experience for students enrolled in the new school. Approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education in January, Pennwood Cyber Charter School’s approach emphasizes both academics and building fundamental life skills. This combination fosters the confidence that students need to thrive both in school and in their lives. Taught by state-certified teachers with special training in working in a virtual environment, students will benefit from the proven and nationally recognized Connections Academy program that includes core coursework and a variety of elective opportunities for students to pursue their personal passions. Students will also have opportunities to socialize with their peers and teachers both virtually and in person.
With a unique focus on college and career readiness, the school will offer students in grades 6-12 access to extensive course offerings with industry-leading partners like Coursera, Acadeum, Credly, and The Home Depot. Pennwood Cyber Charter School’s partnership with Drexel University’s Goodwin College of Professional Studies will also provide high school students the opportunity to enroll in project-based learning offerings designed to increase employment opportunities and/or college readiness. Families will also have access to counseling and mental health resources through the school’s partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection.
