Frameworks for the Future

In December 2007, Penn Charter completed Frameworks for the Future the largest capital campaign in the history of the school, raising more than $47 million. The winning combination of teachers who deliver an outstanding educational program, and alumni and parents whose generosity propels us resulted in the extraordinary success of Frameworks for the Future. 
 
The campaign is complete, but Penn Charter is still accepting gifts for the David L. Kurtz Center for the Performing Arts. The Kurtz Family Foundation provided a lead gift toward the end of the campaign, called "the right gift at the right time" by those involved. The gift was made with the help and guidance of Jennifer and David Kurtz OPC '82. The center will be named for Dave's father, broadcast pioneer David L. Kurtz.
 
The performing arts have flourished at Penn Charter, especially over the past 10 years, and our superb arts faculty and program attract many families to the school. Due to the program's success, Penn Charter has literally outgrown its current facilities. The new center will benefit not only Penn Charter, but its East Falls neighborhood as well.
 
The David L. Kurtz Center for the Performing Arts is scheduled to open in winter 2010. Penn Charter is looking forward to a festival of performing arts events in spring 2010 to celebrate the opening of the center. We hope you will join us.
