WHAT SETS US APART, IS WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE A PART OF
An education does not just happen to our students; it is something they take an active role in. Being a part of a team that builds a boat for a community boathouse, participating in a Peace March through Society Hill to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., studying the water quality in the urban watershed by taking samples from local sources; these are all ways SPS students become an integral part of their own educational experience.
Enhancing Classroom Learning; Deepening Community Relationships
The SPS City Curriculum
The goal behind the City Curriculum is for our students to connect to the city of Philadelphia and its rich historical, arts, cultural, business, culinary, political, philanthropic and ecological resources. The City Curriculum was created to both enhance the learning experience for each student and provide an opportunity to build a stronger bond to their communities and the city at large.
A Commitment To Social Emotional Learning
Character Development
Daily best practices and our commitment to carrying out the School’s Mission and Community Code are supplemented with schoolwide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives to practice skills for social awareness, develop interpersonal intelligence, and learn responsible decision-making.
