Company Profile
William Penn Charter School
Company Overview
William Penn Charter School is a private independent Friends school, both by birthright and by conviction. Established in 1689 by members of the Religious Society of Friends in response to a charge by William Penn, the school continues its commitment to Quaker spiritual and educational testimonies. A coeducational, pre-kindergarten through 12, college preparatory school, Penn Charter is committed to training the mind, quickening the spirit, cultivating the aesthetic and developing the body.
We seek to be a richly diverse school community: racially, religiously, economically, ethnically, and socially. In our curriculum, we work to widen our embrace of a plurality of cultures and to celebrate the voices of both women and men.
We strive to nurture the special gifts and abilities of every student while honoring excellence in all endeavors: academic, artistic and athletic.
