The future of our nation depends on our ability to create and be creative. During the coming decades our most important natural resources will be human resources. If our nation is to continue to meet the challenge of the future, today's schools need to develop creative leaders.
The Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School was founded on the belief that every child is born with many different intelligences. Our School's environment is designed to identify, nurture and develop each child's intelligences and provide the learning opportunities and experiences needed to enable each child to become creative thinkers, problem solvers, responsible citizens and appreciators of the arts.
The Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School harnesses the most innovative teaching and learning techniques, utilizing the arts as a catalyst, and serves as a model format for education in the 21st Century. The arts humanize the curriculum while affirming the interconnectedness of all forms of knowledge.
Students enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th are offered a rigorous thematic academic curriculum as well as a complete Fine Arts program that includes visual arts, classical ballet, instrumental music, music theory, vocal and choral. Creative technology and French language classes connect the academics to the arts.
In PPACS' hallways, classrooms and art studios, learning is an active journey to a multitude of personal, intellectual and spiritual discoveries.
