Grade School

Founded in 1999, The Philadelphia Academy Charter Grade School Campus has 717 students ranging from grade K through grade 8. Rigorous academics, character development, and technology are the cornerstones of our academic programming. The average class size is 22, with the exception of 1st grade which is kept at approximately 17 students. Our 85,000 square foot air-conditioned facility features interactive whiteboards in all academic classrooms. An Early Childhood Center is housed adjacent to our state-of-the-art outdoor play area and is utilized by our 1st and 2nd graders. In addition, we are fortunate to possess two gymnasiums, a library, two stationary computer labs, and two mobile computer labs. In addition to Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, students receive instruction in Art, Music, Physical Education and Health, Spanish Culture (grades K-5), Spanish Language (grades 6-8), Dance (K-4), and Technology.
