Diversity

Our goal is to be a place where diversity is understood, respected and valued. Penn Charter is committed to diversity among its student body, staff, faculty, administration and overseers. Admissions, hiring goals, what we teach and how we teach are rooted in the school's vision of a diverse community.

Today,  Penn Charter is more diverse than ever. More than a third of our students receive financial aid; more than a quater identify themselves as students of color. Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Protestantism are all represented, and many of our families blend different religious backgrounds. As one graduating senior said, "It's extraordinary: An amazing college prep education surrounded by all different kinds of people."

AIM (Advancing Ideas in Multiculturalism) is a parent organization created to offer support to students and families and to encourage diversity and multicultural instruction. For more information, please call the admissions office at 215-844-3460.
