Wissahickon Charter School's first and current campus, Fernhill, opened in 2002 and serves 452 K-8 students from across Philadelphia. Our second K-8 campus, Awbury, will open in fall 2014. The mission of Wissahickon Charter School (WCS) is to provide a community of learning that stimulates and builds the child's intellectual, social, and character development. Wissahickon Charter Schools are planned around three essential elements: an environmental focus that allows students to experience the curriculum, recognition of service learning projects as key in students’ success, and an emphasis on parents as partners in the learning experiences of their children.
