Our Mission: To nurture students’ knowledge of the world and to empower them to effect positive change.

Our service and curricular trips extend learning beyond the classroom, emphasizing civic responsibility and global citizenship. In service to our larger society, SCH Middle Schoolers partner with the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House to create “Fun Kits” to brighten the days of children receiving ongoing medical treatment, travel to Riverbend Environmental Education Center to be stewards of the earth by planting trees and removing invasive vines, host meal-packaging events with Rise Against Hunger, and volunteer at Cradles to Crayons Philadelphia, an organization whose sole purpose is to
make life better for children in need.

Students also explore the rich resources of Philadelphia and beyond—including the National Constitution Center, Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and a culminating trip to Washington, D.C.

Our mission calls us to nurture students in “a unique educational environment that extends well beyond campus.” These thoughtfully scaffolded experiences are essential to that promise—inspiring students to know themselves, connect with others, and step into the world with confidence and purpose.
