Etown Cyber

At Etown Cyber, our goal is to offer a robust educational program for students K-12 that want to pursue their education in a non-traditional format. The program's flexibility is designed to meet the individualized needs of our students. Unlike outside cyber charter schools, where students may be in a class with teachers and classmates from across the Commonwealth, students enrolled in Etown Cyber remain enrolled in their local school district.

  • Access to a customized education through a vast collection of online courses through multiple vendors.
  • Combine online and in-person classes to best meet the needs of the student.
  • Receive a hometown diploma from the Elizabethtown Area School District, with the opportunity to participate in the annual Commencement program.
