Agora Cyber Charter School boosts science participation to 90% with Discovery Education

Agora Cyber Charter School, a fully virtual school serving students across Pennsylvania, faced the challenge of engaging learners and meeting new state STEELS science standards in its online environment. To address this, the school partnered with Discovery Education to implement its Mystery Science program.

Discovery Education's Mystery Science provided an engaging, standards-aligned curriculum that simplified the transition for teachers. The solution sparked significant student engagement, with one fifth-grade class achieving 90% participation. The program successfully shifted learning from teacher-driven to student-led, improving critical thinking and group collaboration. As a result of its success, Agora expanded the use of Mystery Science to grades K-4.
