    Overview

    Founded in 1689, Penn Charter is the oldest Quaker school in the world. Our core principles—mutual respect, equality, community—are endlessly renewable and fearlessly modern. We educate students to live lives that make a difference. Within a school community that honors difference, our Quaker principles and practice continue to guide us where we seek that of God in each person. 

    At Penn Charter, we celebrate individuality while embracing our shared values. We seek students who engage deeply with their education—those who approach learning with intellect, persistence, commitment, and a sense of wonder. If you’re ready to thrive in a community that challenges and supports you, we invite you to discover Penn Charter. 

    An independent Friends school for students in pre-K through grade 12 on 47 acres in East Falls, Philadelphia.
