Wissahickon Charter School is now accepting applications for two sites.

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.
