The Ours to Shape Strategic Plan

In July 2021, we proudly launched Ours to Shape, a bold and visionary five year strategic plan designed to guide The Philadelphia School into the future. Rooted in TPS’ enduring mission and the strength of our progressive values, Ours to Shape sets forth ambitious goals to advance our community as a national leader in progressive education.

Since the launch of the strategic plan and subsequent capital campaign, the impact has been nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks to the generosity and shared commitment of our community, over $18 million has been raised to date through the comprehensive campaign. These transformative investments have breathed new life into our campus, renovating key physical spaces and deepening the reach and impact of our experiential learning and signature programming, and have helped to broaden our reach of supporting more students attending TPS through tuition assistance. 

As we enter the final year of this inspiring journey, Ours to Shape continues to build momentum. In these closing months of the campaign, we are turning our attention to fundraise to support our music spaces and programming. With your continued support, we can ensure that the next generation of TPS students has the tools, spaces, and teaching inspiration to find their voice, literally and figuratively.

Let’s finish this campaign strong—together. To learn more about this exciting next phase or to get involved, please reach out to our Advancement Office.

Enhancing our Program

Growing Tuition Assistance
