Excellent school. My son loves it! He has learned so much in only few weeks. The entire team is just so professional that I have not words. Each child is different and unique, the teachers confidently learns each student needs and guide them in the right direction. The thinking process is stimulated and creativity is #1. Overall we are confident that made the best choice for our son.
Super teachers. Great, supportive environment for kids. Head of school is great. Gym teachers are great.
My child has thrived at The Philadelphia School. It is a truly progressive education with outdoor classroom opportunities in the city. The teachers are so dedicated to providing the best for my child.
my children love this school. they have learned so much in just a week there. the school gives a big amount of space and education.
This is a fantastic school. 'Extracurricular' activities are part of the regular school day for all students. In addition to academic skills, students also learn critical thinking skills.
Great school in a great location. Professional staff and well structured classrooms. Children are recruited to academicall well known high schools and colleges. Would definitely suggest visiting the school and taking a tour.
While my children love the school, they are not challenged by the curriculum. The staff and administration are inflexible when dealing with gifted students, and resistant to criticism and change. The extracurricular activities are great, but for $15K per year we expect our children to be learning in the classroom.
private, small (ratio 8 to 1) alternative school part of NAIC. There is such a love of learning. My son wants to go to school everyday. There are so many opportunities for hands-on learning and theme based projects. Home-work is a minimum. The school starts in pre-k and runs through 8th grade. After school music, chess, sports...check out TPschool.org
A very warm touchy feely school with great academics.
It is a wonderful and amazing school. If I was you I would apply there as soon as posible because spots fill up really quickly. My son and daughter both go there and they love it.
