Teachers: All courses offered through Lancer Academy Online Learning are taught by highly-qualified, Pennsylvania certified teachers. All teachers have received comprehensive training in best practices and pedagogy for online teaching and interactive learning.
Core Curriculum: Each Deer Lakes course fully incorporates all standards as set forth by the PA Department of Education for that course.
Course Rigor: Each course is designed with the rigor and quality instruction of a traditional classroom. Lessons and assessments are designed to challenge students and encourage inquiry, while fostering individual needs and learning styles. Because students have more flexibility in an online course, they move through material at a more customized pace.
Computer and Internet Access: In Lancer Academy Online Learning, students can be supplied with a laptop fully loaded with the Google Classroom.
Vocational Technical Programs: In partnership with AW Beattie Career Center, which provides over 20 half-day technical programs, students will have the option to pursue courses in skilled labor and industry-based technology programs.
Post-Secondary: Students and families will be able to take advantage of college and career planning by participating in assemblies, programs, career and scheduling fairs, onsite visits from college and university representatives and from military personnel.
