Providing Opportunity

As a public charter school, Mastery does not charge tuition. We do, however, operate independently of the Philadelphia school system. All students, regardless of academic ability, apply via lottery for admission.

Mastery’s first school, the Lenfest Campus in Center City, was founded in September 2001 by a coalition of business, academic, and civic leaders. In 2005, 2006, and 2007 the School District of Philadelphia invited Mastery to convert three low performing District schools, the Thomas Middle School in South Philadelphia and Shoemaker Middle School in West Philadelphia, and the Pickett Middle School in Germantown into Mastery Charter schools, eventually serving grades 7-12. Today, Mastery Charter School's four schools enroll nearly 1,500 students.
