Plum Digital Learning Academy

Overview of the Program

The Plum Digital Learning Academy (PDLA) is an innovative opportunity for our students to engage in an online learning environment while remaining connected to the Plum Borough School District. These online classes provide flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of our students and families. The program is open to ALL PBSD families.

About the Program

Plum Digital Learning Academy utilizes Accelerate Education and Edgenuity Courseware to provide online course options for students in grades K-12. PDLA is presented as an asynchronous learning environment that allows students to work at their own pace and on their own schedule. All of the PDLA courses are monitored by our own Plum Borough School District teachers who can provide assistance and support as needed.

The PDLA course offerings are consistent with the traditional course offerings at our elementary, junior, and senior high schools. They are presented through the Edgenuity and Accelerate online learning platforms. Each course is designed to reflect the pacing and curriculum of our in-person courses and is aligned to the Pennsylvania Department of Education Academic Standards.

The Accelerate Education program is designed for our students in grade K-6. We offer four core classes (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies) as well as Art and Physical Education. Edgenuity Courseware provides the Learning Management System, or LMS, for students in grades 7-12 where students can create a full-time or “blended” schedule. Both programs offer students the flexibility to work at their own pace and create their own schedules while moving towards mastery of each concept, skill, and standard.
