CRANBERRY TWP — Rigorous education with an emphasis on comfort, activities and fun was showcased Wednesday morning, March 29.

The Seneca Valley Academy of Choice Drop-in Center on Executive Drive held its grand opening and ribbon cutting before lunchtime.

The 6,200-square-foot, newly designed drop-in center allows students in the district’s cyber program, the Academy of Choice, to stop in for one-on-one time with teachers or to attend a class, special activity, physical education program or to just hang out for a while.

The rooms in the center are set up to welcome students and make them feel comfortable in the spaces, which also serve as offices for the administrators and teachers who work there.
