On a crisp autumn morning, an exuberant pre-K to 12 Penn Charter community marked the next step in our campus transformation with a ceremonial groundbreaking for the William A. Graham IV OPC ’58 Athletics and Wellness Center.
Spaces
Our campus is 47 acres of green and landmark buildings in the fifth largest city in the U.S. That is extraordinary. We will seize this opportunity and preserve the future of this treasure.
A New Lower School
Our campus transformation is driven by plans for a new lower school designed especially for the way we teach.
Athletics and Wellness Center
A center with superior facilities will support physical education, health, sports and training to promote fitness and fortify the PC athletic legacy.
Campus Master Plan
Our campus transformation will preserve existing buildings, repurpose vacant spaces, open new spaces for outdoor learning, and build on the ecology of these 47 acres.
