The February edition of the Philadelphia Public School Notebook printed graduation rates for all charter and public Philadelphia high schools.  We are proud to state that we were the 3rd best charter in the city at an 88% on time rate.  Thirteen public high schools had a better rate and every one of them is an academic magnet school.

Philadelphia Academy Charter School is proud to announce our new rapid communication notification system. This important tool will enable us to notify you quickly in the event of an emergency or snow closing, upcoming event reminders and general school announcements.
Because you will receive notifications via the phone and/or emails, it is very important to have correct contact information. If you have made any changes to your email address or phone numbers since September, please send a written note with your updates to the front office of the grade school or high school.
Look for an upcoming message soon! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the main office at (215) 676-8320 (grade school) or (215) 673-3990 (high school).
