Vision

Driven by character, excellence, and service, Center City PCS seeks to:

• Foster a community of lifelong learners;
• Graduate students ready to go to and through college; and
• Prepare our alumni to serve and lead others in the 21st century.

Overview

Center City PCS teaches a broad liberal arts and humanities curriculum to students in PreKindergarten-Eighth Grade. We believe, teach, and live Character, Excellence, and Service. We commit to the intellectual, physical, moral and emotional well-being of each scholar and believe every child can learn, lead and serve. Center City PCS’s academic model is built in a disciplined environment that encourages students to strive for excellence in education and their community.
