Who We Are...
The Northwood Academy Charter School was founded in September 2005. We are located in the Northwood section of Philadelphia (near Frankford) and serve approximately 780 students in grades K-8. The majority of our student population comes from the immediate neighborhood but as our reputation has spread so have our boundaries. Our K-4 lower school community is located at our main campus (4621 Castor Avenue) and our 5-8 upper school at our east campus (4290 Penn Street). We are eagerly anticipating the completion of our building addition which will bring everyone together at our main campus in 2013.
Our school prides itself on a straightforward academic program which is delivered by a hand-picked highly qualified staff. We operate a top performing school and have high expectations for all within our community. As the leadership and staff at Northwood have remained stable over the past seven years, our programs have been able to securely take root and achieve ongoing upward momentum. We believe that Northwood is a learning sanctuary where all learners can feel safe, respected and confident to succeed. Our students are encouraged by the opportunities, experiences and enjoyment which we provide.
