Plum Digital Learning Academy (PDLA)
Return to Table of Contents
Families seeking a virtual learning experience for their child may want to explore the PDLA program. The PDLA program offers students the opportunity to work on their coursework asynchronously in a virtual setting. This would allow students and families to create a schedule that fits their family’s needs while ensuring a continued progression through their child’s academic pathway.
PDLA courses are completed online through the Edgenuity Courseware program. PDLA courses are asynchronous and will require students to complete all of their instruction, practice, learning activities, and assessments in a virtual setting. To learn more about asynchronous learning, click here. Each course is monitored by a Plum Borough School District teacher. To see what these online courses look like, please watch this short video.
Students can utilize these PDLA courses to create a unique schedule of either 100% online courses or a blended schedule of in-person and online courses. Click here to view the course catalog of the PDLA offerings. Not all PBSD courses are available through the PDLA program, and students are encouraged to speak with their School Counselor when selecting PDLA courses to ensure they are meeting their school’s academic pathway requirements.
We are excited to present this unique opportunity of our own cyber program which will benefit our students academically, socially, and emotionally by remaining connected to the Plum Borough School District. We look forward to ensuring that each student is exceptionally prepared for success! If you are interested in the PDLA option for your child or if you have any additional questions regarding PDLA, please contact Mr. Preston Hartman, Director of K-12 Virtual Learning.
