At Philip’s Academy we believe in a social justice approach to educating our students. We provide students with research-based nationally recognized curriculum and high quality, differentiated instruction to support each child in meeting his or her unlimited potential. Our classrooms are rooted in workshop style learning where teachers deliver short mini-lessons, confer with students, and facilitate small group learning. Students are active and inquisitive participants in their own learning and encouraged to practice a growth mindset.
