About
Education for students from PS to 8th grade. 44 preschool, 51 kindergarten, 103 primary unit (grades 1-2), 142 junior unit (grades 3-5), 138 middle school (grades 6-8). The Philadelphia School's progressive approach to learning and teaching has deep thinking, innovation, and agency as its guiding values. We encourage children to explore and push the boundaries of possibility to fulfill their intellectual, social, and civic potential. We approach learning through inquiry, projects, and community. Core values and new research inform the school's program and pedagogical practices. Our interdisciplinary, theme-based approach prepares students to build a stronger and more inclusive school, community, and society for today and tomorrow. As an urban preschool-8th grade school, we address specifically how young students develop intellectually, creatively, emotionally, socially, and physically. Through our commitment to diversity, we seek to nurture each student's moral compass, sense of personal integrity, and respect for individuality. Learning in the city, country, and classroom affirms our founders' goal of educating children to become responsible and active stewards of the urban and natural environments.
