After two years of questions and distractions, the students from
Cyber Academy of South Carolina (CASC), an online public school
serving Kindergarten through 12th grade students throughout the
state, will celebrate their graduation with an in person
commencement ceremony this weekend.
Staffed by state-licensed teachers, CASC is authorized by The
Charter Institute at Erskine.
“Graduation is a day that many students didn’t think was
possible, but they persevered and through their hard work, love and
dedication of their families, and the caring staff at Cyber Academy
of South Carolina, this far-away dream is now an amazing reality,”
said Erin Craft, Graduation Coach CASC. “We are so proud of each of
our graduates and look forward to seeing what the future holds for
them.”
In CASC, ELA, Math, and Science proficiency improved in over 66%
of grade levels during the pandemic where the state declined.
Additionally, the school increased its graduation rate by nearly
16% in the past three years. During the past 2 years, COVID and
other benefits to schooling at home has led to an increase in
enrollment that nearly doubled the school’s population.
This year, CASC will graduate nearly 300 students. Members of
the graduating class report they have been accepted to colleges and
universities across South Carolina and beyond, including Full Sail
University, Clemson University Anderson University, College of
Charleston, Winthrop University, Francis Marion University,
University of South Carolina, Texas A & M, and Baylor
University.
Kody Ashley is CASC 2022 valedictorian and plans to take a gap
year before returning to college and joining the AirForce. Luis
Vargas Gómez is the class salutatorian and will attend
Horry-Georgetown Community College.
Students choose online learning for a number of reasons—some are
looking to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off
track, and others are looking for an alternative to the traditional
classroom setting. CASC students access a robust online curriculum
in the core subjects and a host of electives and attend live online
classes taught by state-certified teachers.
CASC is inviting all families and friends worldwide to join the
celebration as the event will be livestreamed on CASC’s Facebook
page. Details of the graduation ceremonies are as follows:
