The ASPIRA Bilingual Cyber Cyber School (ABCCS) is a free public cyber (virtual) charter school located in the US state of Pennsylvania. It is "the nation's first bilingual Cyber Charter School for students in grades K-12". The school seeks to enrich student lives through a bilingual approach that helps develop both language skills and cultural awareness. It seeks to aid Pennsylvania students who have not had their needs met in a traditional educational setting.


ABCSS offers "interactive distance learning classrooms", one-to-one tutoring, computer-supported collaborative learning, and project-based learning.
