Our Founding Values:

![]() Diversity:
WPCS strives to create a community of families that reflects the diversity of broader Philadelphia. We aim to create a learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming of difference as it relates to race, ethnicity, gender, family structure, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic class and physical ability. We encourage students and families to share their whole selves, so we can celebrate and learn from each other. We see this as an important part of social development for each child, but also important for the development of an inclusive and compassionate community. As our greater Philadelphia community struggles with issues of gentrification, bigotry and inequality, we recognize that the foundation for social justice lies with building compassion and respect for difference in our youngest members. Our commitment to diversity is reflected in our emergent curriculum, outreach and admissions policies. Co-oping Responsibilities:
