WHAT WE DO
YESPhilly Accelerated High School offers classes in all the core subjects required by the School District of Philadelphia. Our classes are small and youth work at their own pace. We blend the Summit Learning Platform with project-based activities based on core content knowledge. Our youth set their own goals, and create a personal development plan that helps them take responsibility for their progress. See our FAQs page for more details.
