A New School Coming to Philly

**PCS** · 10-01-2012, 04:16 PM

My name is Ross Hatton and I am part of a group working to launch a new School next September. We as a group are convinced Philadelphia need more great schools and have been meeting as a board for over a year organizing and planning. This will be a school that has a strong emphasis in the arts and learning through arts, rich curriculum that stimulates the mind and imagination, stellar academics, a warm environment where children are not stuck in desks all day, and small classes where children can be known. In the next several months we are planning some informal questions and answer sessions at locations throughout the city. You can check out our (in process) website to read more about Philadelphia Classical school and decide if it is something you might want to know more about. The Fairmount/Art Museum Q&A location is at Olivet Covenant Church (22nd and Mt. Vernon) on Tuesday, October 2nd from 7-8 p.m. You can check the website for other events and locations as well.Philadelphia Classical School Application packets will be ready sometime in November 2012 for the 2013-2014 academic year. We are starting with grades K-2 and adding a grade a year after that.
