A COLLECTIVE EFFORT HONORING THE CLASS OF 2023 AND THE PC TEACHERS WHO GUIDED THEM ALONG THE WAY.
The Senior Parent Gift supports professional development for Penn Charter teachers. Prior graduating classes have supported this effort, ensuring that our children had excellent teachers dedicated to teaching in innovative, exciting and effective ways.
The gift supports current and future PC students — some of them our own younger children! — and continues the tradition of outstanding teaching and learning at the school.

Penn Charter understands the vital importance of adaptability and dexterity, and we encourage our faculty to teach for the future: to embrace creativity, collaboration, global partnerships, innovative curriculum, and technologies — all to prepare our graduates for tomorrow.
We attract and retain exemplary educators by offering competitive salary support and professional development opportunities to ensure the growth of great teachers. Ultimately, every investment Penn Charter makes in our teachers pays dividends to our students in the form of updated experiences, projects, and approaches.

Ms. Noone is an exceptional teacher, mentor and advocate for students interested in the arts. Her commitment to her students is evident in her availability in helping our son design his resume and create his portfolio. Additionally, she guided him to submit a film he made to several film competitions in which he won three awards!Senior Parent
Ms. Flemming has been very helpful outside of math class. She offers extra problems and support when needed.Senior Parent
Valuing Innovative Teaching and Learning (VITAL)
One example of support for faculty that the Senior Parent Gift provides is Penn Charter's VITAL summer grant program, an exciting new model for faculty summer work. VITAL provides teachers with time and resources for research and collaboration that result in innovative curriculum.
As an example, this video highlights the work of our Teaching & Learning Center to inspire and connect teachers to each other and to new resources, leading to renewed consideration of our teaching methods and ways to improve student learning in the classroom.
Thank you for supporting our teachers and their professional development!
Mr. Ford has fostered a love of music in my daughter. He has encouraged her to go out of her comfort zone and try new things … instruments that are beyond what she thought she could play. He has taken the time to work with her on learning these instruments so she feels confident when it comes time to play them in the winter and spring shows. Senior Parent
