A diverse range of electives provide students opportunity to personally shape their rosters, with offerings such as Robotics, Anatomy, Music, Art, Culinary, Ecology, Photography, and Graphic Arts. n nBeyond academics, the high school experience at Philadelphia Academy includes extracurricular offerings in athletics, creativity, and social activities. n nFor the athlete, ten varsity sports compete as members of both the Philadelphia Pubic League, and the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association: men’s and women’s teams in basketball, soccer, bowling, and golf; and baseball and softball. n nThe 21st Century afterschool program is always evolving to meet the needs of the students. New student-designed programs are continually being proposed and implemented. Some of the current programs include: Chess, United Nations, Mock Trial, Art, Music, Personal Finance, French, Community Service, World Views, Yearbook Committee, Gender Empowerment, Heroes Service, Fitness, Multicultural Club, and E-Gaming. n nPost-secondary, we pride ourselves in the fact that 100% of our students leave PACS with an immediate path for the future, whether it is a career field, military service, or higher education, with approximately 85% of our graduating students choosing to pursue a degree.

The Mission of the Philadelphia Academy Charter School is to prepare students to achieve the highest level of their potential, whether academically, socially or morally. Our aim is to create life-long learners who exercise self-discipline and self-motivation and attain a high level of human fulfillment. Central to our vision is the notion that we help our students to recognize that their fulfillment is rooted in the care and respect that they show to themselves and to others, both within and outside of the school setting.<\/p>
