The Charter School of Excellence (CSE) is a free non-profit public school that opened in 2003. The mission of the Charter School of Excellence is to provide a variety of educational opportunities to foster academic excellence through partnerships with families, the community, and the school. We provide programs and services to facilitate intellectual growth and enable students to become independent, responsible, and employable citizens.
The CSE currently enrolls approximately 575 students in grades 6-12. The Charter School of Excellence is committed to a small and safe learning environment with a focus on core academics, high-interest electives, and social-emotional learning and workforce development skills that are transferable to any after-high school plans. We are committed to providing a rigorous curriculum that addresses individual learning styles and promotes a school culture of mutual respect and collaboration.
The CSE curriculum utilizes the Pennsylvania State Standards-Aligned System (SAS) along with grade-level Common Core State Standards. These standards provide a comprehensive approach to support achievement while offering a clear and consistent framework to prepare students for employment careers and college, tech school, and other post-secondary education options. CSE students take courses at a pace that is appropriate to their level of academic functioning.
The faculty and staff at the Charter School of Excellence understand the value and importance of family and community support. We recognize the importance of pursuing a wide range of partnerships that allow for the additional resources necessary to improve and challenge student achievement and provide for the whole child. Consequently, we view parents and community members as partners in creating a school culture that promotes academic success and fosters personal growth.
