In 1974, a group of teachers, guidance counselors, and principals established the Learning & Evaluation Center—now Keystone Credit Recovery—to provide credit makeup opportunities for students who did not have access to, or could not attend, traditional classroom-based summer school programs.

Today, Keystone Credit Recovery is an accredited school offering affordable, year-round independent study coursework—both online and correspondence—for students in grades 5 through 12 who need to recover credits. Our coursework is designed to close the "failure gap," allowing students to move to the next grade level or graduate on time with their class.

Keystone Credit Recovery is a division of KC Distance Learning, Inc. (KCDL), the leading provider of distance learning programs to schools and families. KCDL uses the power of distance learning to bring quality educational opportunities within reach of every student. In addition to Keystone Credit Recovery, KC Distance Learning operates the following Keystone programs:
