Imagine a school where your child logs in each morning to see a familiar teacher, engage in live discussions, and learn alongside classmates —all from the comfort of their own home. That’s the power of synchronous learning at Insight PA Cyber Charter School, a full-time online public school serving K–12 students across Pennsylvania. We combine the structure of traditional classrooms with the flexibility of online learning to create a supportive, engaging experience for every student.
What Is Synchronous Learning?
Synchronous learning means students attend live, scheduled classes with their teachers and classmates each school day. These aren’t pre-recorded lessons—students participate in real time, ask questions, collaborate on activities, and receive immediate feedback.
At Insight PA, the majority of students, from kindergarteners learning to read to high schoolers tackling advanced coursework, follow a daily live class schedule. Classes are held on our secure learning platform, where students can access assignments, resources, and communicate with their teachers.
Why Does it Work?
Synchronous learning helps students build routines, stay motivated, and feel connected. Teachers utilize tools such as virtual whiteboards, breakout rooms, and interactive polls to keep learners engaged and motivated. And because students learn together in real-time, they experience a sense of community that’s often missing in other online models.
Families appreciate the clarity and consistency that synchronous learning provides. Students know when and where to be each day, and teachers are there to guide, support, and challenge them.
More Than Just Academics
At Insight PA, live learning extends beyond core subjects. Students participate in social-emotional learning sessions, enrichment activities, morning meetings, and other opportunities, creating a space for connection, creativity, and personal growth.
Special education services and support programs are also delivered live, ensuring that every student gets the personalized help they need to thrive.
Learning Together, at Home
With certified teachers leading instruction and parents or guardians serving as support at home, families play an active role in their students’ learning journey. It’s a true partnership—one that sets students up for long-term success.
