• Learn about upcoming parent and family events and workshops
• and more!

You can also call 215-400-4000 or submit this form to receive assistance with a question or concern.

The school selection process allows students currently in pre-kindergarten through 11th grade to apply to attend any school for the 2025-2026 school year with available space other than their catchment school. A catchment school is the school that connects to your family’s home address, so you don’t have to apply. Learn more about your child's school options and how families can participate today. The application will close on Wednesday, October 23rd, at 11:59pm
