Explore • discover • LEARN
At SCH Academy, our Lower School teachers are primed to look for door-opening moments at every turn. With teachers as their guides, our students make important discoveries through bubble-blowing science experiments, adventures in the Wissahickon woods, and cozy afternoons spent with friends in the Lower School library. It’s our mission to create a joyful space for our students to test, explore, and excel at our private elementary school at the edge of the Wissahickon Valley Park located in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. They—and their ideas—are supported here.
Lower School Admissions Checklist
We believe in the importance of a deep connection with the natural world and the importance of play for children. The Lower School, housed in the breathtaking, state-of-the-art McCausland Lower School, offers our students an unparalleled experience to easily access Wissahickon for exploration, observation, and content-focused work.
