Our Arts and STEM Programming

We believe in the profound positive impact that exposure to the arts has on a child's creativity, confidence, self-discipline, and greater understanding of the world. Starting in Kindergarten, our students have seven additional arts classes woven into their daily schedules each week. Once a student enters fifth grade they begin their own artistic and academic journey in our unique Majors Program.

Our Community Values

We're more than just a school - we're your neighbors. The Philadelphia Charter School for Arts and Sciences serves families right here in Northeast Philadelphia by providing a well-rounded education that gives students opportunities for community service. Our school hosts a variety of events, from festivals to community performances to health clinics.

Our Learning Spaces

We are fortunate to be able to provide our K-8 students with music, dance, and visual art studios, and a dedicated science lab. All instruments, costumes, and art and STEM supplies are available for students to utilize with no additional cost to families.
