HOW TO APPLY FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR

The Apply Philly Charter website will be inaccessible from January 22 through February 25 for school year 2025-2026 applicants. If you’d like to consult with one of our enrollment specialists about options for your student during this period and be reminded via email, call, or text when the website reopens so that you can complete an application, please complete the form linked below.

If you are looking for a seat for your child for the current school year you can still apply via Apply Philly Charter by selecting school year 2024-2025 on your application during the January 22 through February 25 shutdown.  Please note: Applications for school year 2025-2026 will not be accepted via the 2024-2025 pathway as they must be submitted for the correct school year in order to be eligible.

Our School

Academic instruction includes small-group sessions that allow teachers to create a personalized learning experience for each student as they explore the concepts of language arts, math, science, and social studies. Students also receive instruction in art, physical education, music, and more as part of our commitment to educating the whole child.

We believe in a holistic approach to education, which helps foster academic excellence, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for knowledge.

As part of Mastery’s initiative to have all students reading on grade level by grade 4, Clymer Elementary received $24k worth of new books donated to K-3 libraries in 2024.
