Origins
In 1999 the Intermediate Units of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties saw the need for a cyber school to serve their students, but they wanted to ensure that the school offered a high quality education. These IUs, and their 64 member school districts, formed the school in 2001. The four IU Executive Directors, along with two school district Superintendents from each county and three parents, serve as the charter school board. The 21CCCS Board has a tremendous amount of experience in education, and its members take an active role in guiding the school.
