It is the mission of Alliance for Progress Charter School to ensure the achievement and success of every student through a technologically rich and individualized learning environment.

“Overall AFPCS is an amazing school. Before my

son attended he was in public school learning

little with little resources. Since starting his

grades have improved. His behavior is still a work

in progress, but with the help of the school, he will

be on the right track.”

“All and all this is the best school in Philly!”

“I am very satisfied and happy about the quality

of education my child has received over the last 9

years here at Alliance. Thanks for having such a

strong mission and standing by it year after year.

Keep up the great work!”

Quotes from AFPCS Parents

“Overall I really enjoy the quality of education my

child receives as well as the school atmosphere. I

have recommended others to this school.

Excellent job !!”

“AFPCS has been a great improvement for my

kids. The discipline and order and strong learning

techniques has made them better students.

Thanks.”

“Thank you all for allowing my daughter to grow,

and being positive role models.”
