The location is at 333 Allegheny Avenue in Oakmont.

Achievement House Cyber Charter School (AHCCS) has opened a Pittsburgh Education Center in Oakmont this month to meet the needs of currently enrolled and prospective Pittsburgh-area students and families.
Located on Allegheny Avenue, the center houses educators who teach students online across the state and also offers onsite tutoring, direct instruction and socialization to local students in seventh through twelfth grades.
The Pittsburgh Center is the third Achievement House site statewide, joining the main office in Exton and the Westmoreland Center in New Florence. The Oakmont location is easily accessible from several major highways and is located among popular restaurants and shops at Three Allegheny Plaza Building, 333 Allegheny Avenue, Suite 1-C.

The curriculum offers more live classes per course. Achievement House also is launching the Microsoft IT Academy for students and parents, and it is the first cyber school in the country to pilot the innovative Project Lead the Way math, technology and engineering program.
“Through safe, virtual classrooms, our focus is always on the student and the individual program that best fits him or her,” said Achievement House CEO Tim Daniels in a press release. “There is no classroom overcrowding or threat of closures in our online environment. Parents can be assured that their children are receiving a reliable, high quality education in the safest environment on earth.”
An important goal for Rodden is to help parents become more engaged in their children’s education.
With previous experience as the Parent Liaison and Western Regional Director of another cyber school for seven years, Rodden has extensive experience working with parents to enhance the educational experience of their children.
“Parent involvement is vital for a student’s success,” she said. “The Oakmont site offers various ways for families to be involved, including parent programs available virtually and onsite.”
