Activities or mission (Part I)
SEE SCHEDULE O THE PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL EDUCATES CHILDREN FOR A FUTURE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHAPE. LEARN HERE. GO ANYWHERE.
-
EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS FROM PRESCHOOL TO 8TH GRADE; 41 PRESCHOOL, 52 KINDERGARTEN, 91 PRIMARY UNIT (GRADES 1-2), 132 JUNIOR UNIT (GRADES 3-5), 95 MIDDLE SCHOOL (GRADES 6-8).THE PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL (TPS) OPENED ITS DOORS TO ITS FIRST STUDENTS OVER 50 YEARS AGO. A LEADER IN THE PHILADELPHIA EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE, TPS HAS COME TO BE KNOWN OVER TIME FOR THREE DISTINCTIVE AND UNIQUE FEATURES: WE ARE PROGRESSIVE, OUR CLASSROOM IS EVERYWHERE, AND WE ARE PRESCHOOL THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE BY DESIGN. WE KNOW THAT LEARNING HAPPENS EVERYWHERE - IN THE CITY, IN THE COUNTRY, AND IN THE CLASSROOM. CONNECTING LESSONS TO THE REAL WORLD HELPS CHILDREN UNDERSTAND HOW THEY FIT INTO THE BIG PICTURE AND LEARN HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. TPS GRADUATES EMERGE AS SELF-CONFIDENT LEADERS MORE THAN PREPARED NOT ONLY FOR THE NEXT STEPS OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY, BUT TO SHAPE THE WORLD IN IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL WAYS. WE'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. WE'LL BE DOING THE SAME FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS.THE PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL'S PROGRESSIVE EDUCATIONAL APPROACH HAS DEEP THINKING, INNOVATION, AND AGENCY AS ITS GUIDING PRINCIPLES. WE ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO EXPLORE AND PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF POSSIBILITY TO FULFILL THEIR ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, AND CIVIC POTENTIAL. WE APPROACH LEARNING THROUGH INQUIRY, PROJECTS, AND COMMUNITY. CORE VALUES AND BEST-PRACTICE RESEARCH INFORM THE SCHOOL'S PROGRAM AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES. OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY, THEME-BASED APPROACH PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR MASTERING ACADEMICS AND PREPARES STUDENTS FOR THE CHALLENGES THEY WILL FACE IN THE FUTURE. AS AN URBAN, PRESCHOOL - 8TH GRADE SCHOOL, WE ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY HOW YOUNG STUDENTS DEVELOP INTELLECTUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, SOCIALLY, AND PHYSICALLY. THROUGH OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, WE SEEK TO NURTURE EACH STUDENT'S MORAL COMPASS, SENSE OF PERSONAL INTEGRITY, AND RESPECT FOR BOTH INDIVIDUALITY AND COMMUNITY. LEARNING IN THE CITY, COUNTRY, AND CLASSROOM AFFIRMS OUR FOUNDERS' GOAL OF EDUCATING CHILDREN TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE AND ACTIVE STEWARDS OF THE URBAN AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
