Welcome to The U School!

Brief About Us

The U School is a competency-based school designed to change the outcomes of Philadelphia youth in college and career outcomes (currently only 18% of Philadelphia high school students make it to their 2nd year of college), by challenging young people to create high quality projects while also giving ownership over their learning.

We offer students the opportunity to become truly independent learners, while they engage in a challenging college-preparatory curriculum.
