ALLIANCE FOR PROGRESS CS

Alliance for Progress CS is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Alliance for Progress CS school district, located in Philadelphia, PA with about 468 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 26 teachers, Alliance for Progress CS has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Alliance for Progress Charter School (AFPCS), located on Cecil B. Moore Avenue in North Philadelphia, is an independent public charter school serving students in grades K–8. The school is known for its commitment to providing a rigorous academic environment that emphasizes core subjects while fostering a strong sense of community and personal responsibility. By maintaining a smaller school setting, AFPCS aims to offer more personalized attention to its students, ensuring that academic support and social-emotional growth remain at the forefront of the educational experience.

Beyond traditional academics, the school actively integrates programs designed to prepare students for success in high school and beyond. It places a significant focus on cultivating a safe, inclusive culture where students are encouraged to become active participants in their own learning. Located in a historically significant neighborhood, Alliance for Progress works to build strong partnerships with local families and community members, positioning itself as a foundational pillar for the youth in the surrounding area.
