Welcome to Upper School at SCH Academy

At SCH, one of the largest independent private high schools in Philadelphia, you will be challenged as an individual and as a leader. You will leave here a different person than when you entered. Whether it’s the collaborative experience of 9th grade Outward Bound, the bonds forged during four years of advisory, or the opportunity to stand up in front of your peers and speak, SCH will transform you. You will be encouraged to take risks, learn from failure, and meet the goals you set for yourself.

MATT NORCINI |HEAD OF UPPER SCHOOL 


Academics overview

Led by our deeply committed and progressive faculty, Upper School students gain a thorough grounding in the core liberal arts and are encouraged to learn about the array of electives offered. SCH is a dynamic environment, encouraging students to pursue their academic passions and, unknowingly, discover new ones—there are smaller communities within our larger community that offer connections and opportunities for friendship, curiosity, and grit.
