The City School is a PK-12 multi-campus, private Christian school in the heart of Philadelphia. We are a diverse community of learners, dreamers, influencers, artists, athletes, and scholars. We range the spectrum of race and ethnicity, culture, socio-economic background, academic ability, and faith traditions. We believe who you learn with matters. The City School is rare because of the way we have cultivated socio-economic diversity in our community and that benefits your child. Half of our families earn beyond 200% of the federal poverty line. Half earn less. This is intentional—we are deliberate about cultivating a community where students learn alongside people unlike themselves. Learning in a diverse community prepares your child for a lifetime of building relationships with people with different experiences and perspectives. Our program is designed to challenge students where they excel and help them where they struggle. Advanced students have a variety of AP and dual-enrollment options to pursue, and students needing extra help have access to after-school tutoring and one-on-one learning support. In addition to core academic courses, we offer diverse electives such as photography, drama, weightlifting, ASL, music theory, advanced art classes, and SAT prep. Outside of the classroom, students find enrichment in extra-curricular offerings such as basketball, bowling, cheerleading, cross country, dance, debate team, soccer, track and volleyball.

How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents. Learn more about GPS ratings methodology here.
