Community Partnership School

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cause Description:
The Community Partnership School is a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade independent school for talented inner city children. The school emphasizes growth and achievement in academics, motor development, and the arts, as well as in moral and social responsibility. Parents and/or guardians are required to work closely with teachers and other members of the school’s staff to support their student’s personal growth. The goal of the school is to prepare graduates to enter competitive academic programs at the middle school level in local public, religious, charter and independent schools. OUR OBJECTIVES * To create a pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade program for talented inner-city children with the intent that they will be eligible to attend selective public, independent, religious and charter middle schools. * To create a model for similar ventures that will combine thriving independent schools with successful community-based programs to bring opportunity to our youngest children living in low-income urban areas. * To create a demonstration program accessible to area universities and schools of education that will provide opportunities for graduate-level research on best school practices for inner-city children.
