Welcome! We invite students from around the world to be a part of The City School family and we hope that will be you. International students enrich our school with new cultures, insights, and perspectives. In return, we offer you a safe and supportive environment where you can grow and flourish.
The City School has provided excellent college-preparatory classes based on Christian principles since 1978. We are located in the heart of the historical city of Philadelphia, a major metropolitan American tourist city and where the Declaration of Indepence and The Constitution of the United States were signed. The City School is surrounded by many of Philadelphia’s and it’s surrounding communities’ top universities and colleges, making it a great place to grow and study, as well as, engage in American culture. We bring learning to life by taking advantage of our community’s unparalleled cultural resources. I am excited to get to know you. Please reach out to me today!
