YORK,
Pa., June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Pennwood Cyber Charter School, Pennsylvania's newest cyber charter school,
announces the hire of Chris Moser as
the school's CEO. Moser has a distinguished career in education
with over 20 years of experience in K-12 education. "We are
thrilled to welcome Chris Moser as
the CEO; she impressed us with her dedication to student
achievement, commitment to fostering an inclusive and collaborative
school community, and vision for the future of our school," said

I'm delighted to be joining Pennwood Cyber
Charter School at the start of what will be an incredible journey.
Anchored in the school's mission to provide students a safe,
engaging learning environment, my goal is to help prepare students
for their future and set them up for success.
As CEO, Moser will work closely with administrators, teachers,
and staff to provide a high-quality virtual learning experience for
students enrolled in the new school. Approved by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education in January, Pennwood Cyber Charter School's
approach emphasizes both academics and building fundamental life
skills. This combination fosters the confidence that students need
to thrive both in school and in their lives. Taught by
state-certified teachers with special training in working in a
virtual environment, students will benefit from the proven and
nationally recognized Connections Academy program that includes
core coursework and a variety of elective opportunities for
students to pursue their personal passions. Students will also have
opportunities to socialize with their peers and teachers both
virtually and in person.
With a unique focus on college and career readiness, the school
will offer students in grades 6-12 access to extensive course
offerings with industry-leading partners like Coursera, Acadeum,
Credly, and The Home Depot. Pennwood Cyber Charter School's
partnership with Drexel University's
Goodwin College of Professional Studies
will also provide high school students the opportunity to enroll in
project-based learning offerings designed to increase employment
opportunities and/or college readiness. Families will also have
access to counseling and mental health resources through the
school's partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection.
"I'm delighted to be joining Pennwood Cyber Charter School at
the start of what will be an incredible journey," said Moser.
"Anchored in the school's mission to provide students a safe,
engaging learning environment, my goal is to help prepare students
for their future and set them up for success. I look forward to
creating a strong community and seeing what we can achieve
together."
Prior to joining Pennwood Cyber Charter School, Moser served in
various educator, administrator, and advisor roles in Pennsylvania's K-12 school system and higher
education. Most recently, she held the school leader position at
Iowa Connections Academy, helping to grow the school to reach more
Iowans seeking alternative education options and increasing
academic growth and proficiency in math and reading. She completed
her undergraduate degree at Old Dominion
University and received a post-baccalaureate teaching
certificate at Alvernia University. She obtained her Master of
Education in Educational Leadership and Administration from
Wilkes University and, in 2023, she
