Mission
At the Philly Free School, students ages 4-19 explore freely, think critically, and work collaboratively across ages to govern themselves and their school. Through self-initiated activities, students learn the delicate balance between individual freedom and community responsibility. Along the way, they develop the internal resources to navigate, assess, and utilize the information and tools needed to thrive in modern society.Points Of Pride
We have one of the most racially, socioeconomically and geographically diverse student populations in the region. We are also the region's first, and only, Sudbury-model school.Admissions Policy
The most important criteria for admission are the family's understanding of our educational philosophy and the ability of the students to take responsibility for themselves. Students are admitted to PFS without regard to previous academic or behavioral record.Accreditations and Honors
