As the 2026–27 school year kicks off, the Admissions Office is proud to report:
More families than ever are joining SCH thanks to your word-of-mouth support. Thank you for your referrals!
We welcomed 1,262 students on the first day of school this year, ages 18 months to 18 years, including 38 children of alumni—a powerful reminder of the lasting connection and trust our graduates place in SCH.
This year, 269 new students now call SCH home.
Families relocating from across the U.S. and abroad choose SCH, and this year we are thrilled to welcome 22 new families to both Philadelphia and our school community!
The SCH community is stronger than ever, and together we’re building something extraordinary!
Reminder, families: Applications for 2027–28 are now open! Apply now for any of your children who don’t currently attend SCH. And let your friends and neighbors know it’s time to apply! https://www.sch.org/apply
