Research Wissahickon Charter School charter Schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“WCS is great place where the whole child is educated. Academics are stressed, but the social curriculum through the Responsive Classroom is also important. My children are in 5th grade and have been at Wissahickon since grade 2. It's a fabolous school, with a wonderful staff, climate, and administration. Send your kid to this school if you can.”

“My daughter is a kindergarten student at WCC. So far I am very impressed with this school. The management and teachers at the school are genuninely concerned about the care and education of the students. Very quick to respond to questions and concerns. Their own children attend the school, so they have a vested interes in the school succedding. Gym, music and art is part of their weekly schedule. Her teacher is very hands on and it is her goal by the end of the year that all the kindergarters will be good readers. Very big on parental involvement as well as other family members. Something lacking in a lot of public schools. In their first week they talked about how to settle conflicts without resorting to violence. They really foster a 'community' atmosphere. I'm fortuante my daughter was accepted tot his school.”

“I am truly impressed with the academic progress with this school. I truly believe that the Principal teachers and all other staff members care about the welfare of all the children. When the school first open it had a lot of things to work on, but I feel the school has finally found it's place in the school district. There is one thing I do dislike, which is the mishandling of the school buses, I feel they are poorly run and unorganized. If the school would manage the school buses a lot more closely, the children would be able to get to school for breakfast.”
