ANNUAL REPORT

LEARN HERE. GO ANY WHERE.

Message from the Head of School Our annual report is a time to reflect on the year past and how it fits into the greater story of The Philadelphia School. 2020-2021 was a year of challenges, a year of growth, and most of all, a year of reaffirming who we are and where we are headed.

Just before the start of our 2021-2022 school year, we sadly lost our cofounder, Lynne Berman, after her long battle with

to the school she called her “fourth child.” For decades after

all three of her children (John ‘80, Liz ‘81, and Michael ’84) they graduated, Lynne stayed actively involved with the institution she helped nurture. Her passing—just one year before we celebrate TPS’ 50th birthday—reminds us that The Philadelphia School is only here because dedicated parents brought it to life through their sustained hard work.

Our community continues to be our greatest strength and at no time was this clearer than this past year. Families, teachers and staff, TPSA, and our board of trustees all rallied to create a sense of safety and consistency for students in 2020-2021. Our children, in turn, demonstrated their

resilience and flexibility and their commitment to making a difference in the world, even when the world may have not shared in their optimism.

Mission and Philosophy The Philadelphia School educates children for a future that is impossible to know but not impossible to shape.

Learn here. Go anywhere.

The Philadelphia School’s progressive educational approach to learning and teaching has deep thinking, innovation, and agency as its guiding values. We encourage children to explore and push the boundaries of possibility to fulfill their intellectual, social, and civic potential. We approach learning through inquiry, projects, and community. Core values and new research inform the school’s program and pedagogical practices.

Our interdisciplinary, theme-based approach prepares students to build a stronger and more inclusive school, community, and society for today and tomorrow.

As an urban preschool through 8th grade school, we address specifically how young students develop intellectually, creatively, 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 individuality. 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.
