A common myth about cyber school is that it somehow doesn’t “count” the same as traditional public education. Families often wonder if their child will earn a real diploma or if they’ll face hurdles when applying to college, trade programs, or jobs. The truth is straightforward:
CPDLF awards a fully recognized Pennsylvania state diploma.
Cyber school is public school.
As a public cyber charter school, CPDLF follows Pennsylvania graduation requirements—including course completion, credit hours, assessments, and state standards. Our diploma carries the same weight as any diploma issued by a brick-and-mortar district. That's because we're a public school.
Your child’s future options remain wide open.
Graduates from CPDLF go on to attend colleges, trade schools, military programs, and workforce opportunities just like any other Pennsylvania students. In many cases, learners leave CPDLF with stronger independence and self-management skills—qualities colleges and employers value.
We guide learners all the way through graduation.
CPDLF’s Academic Team provides course planning, credit tracking, and graduation support. Families don’t have to guess whether their child is on track—we monitor progress closely and communicate often. Learners don't fall through the cracks here!
Flexibility supports success, not shortcuts.
Some families fear that flexible learning means lowered expectations. In reality, CPDLF holds learners to high academic standards while providing support that helps them stay on track. The flexibility simply allows students to access learning in a way that works for them.
Your child earns a real diploma and a meaningful, personalized education along the way.
