The 2024 pilot program includes 20 schools operated by the School District of Philadelphia and five Charter Schools - for a total of 25 schools.
"A Safer, Cleaner, Greener Philadelphia with Economic Opportunity for All starts with ensuring our children have access to the highest quality education," said Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. "Extended Day, Extended Year school is a high-priority initiative that is based on the needs of working parents, closing the opportunity gap and expanding access to enrichment programs. This program serves as the next step in bringing a unified vision and organizing strategy to Philadelphia's education system.
The Extended Day, Extended Year program will support working families and help to meet the need for safe and enriching environments for school-aged children.
The program will provide additional enrichment opportunities, allow students to explore interests to help them develop their passions, and support academic success by keeping students interested and engaged in school. In collaboration with the School District of Philadelphia, the Extended Day, Extended Year program aligns with Superintendent Watlington's Accelerate Philly agenda and the academic goals of the participating charter schools.
