I’ve been to a lot of different schools, from Christian to public cyber and home schooling in America to uy maktab (home schooling) in Uzbekistan. Most people don’t realize the very diverse schooling I have had. Most of all, people don’t understand when I talk about a cyber school.
My friends and even my extended family don’t quite grasp the concept of online school. But as a recent high school graduate from Commonwealth Connections Academy (CCA), I can say that my time in a virtual charter school has prepared me for a very bright future.
Cyber schools have been in existence in Pennsylvania since 2003. Though relatively new, they are more advanced than they were even last year. CCA was able to give me a personal path to learning that finally piqued my interest in school.
This year I’ve taken classes that were not offered to me at the schools I have attended in the past. For example, art history and digital photography were just a few of the classes in my schedule. Digital photography has taught me some amazing tricks of graphic art. Art history was a great class, because I learned about my favorite works of art and the cultures that created them.
