All children deserve the opportunity to succeed in school, despite any challenges they may face.
Propel Schools rejects the idea that poverty or ethnicity determines life outcomes. That is why Propel’s 13 public charter schools provide each scholar with resources, support and opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible to them.
Families value Propel Schools for its individualized learning environment, small class sizes, and its committed, caring educators.
Propel’s K-2 Reading Initiative ensures our scholars are reading at or above grade level by the time they complete second grade. With a secure foundation of learning, Propel scholars then benefit from our STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) integrated curriculum that is enhanced by partnerships with local organizations such as Carnegie Mellon University, Grow Pittsburgh, Verizon, Pittsburgh CLO and PPG Industries.
“I chose Propel Schools for my son because I felt that, at his other school, he was not being challenged enough. I brought him to Propel and he is exceeding ever since,” said one mother.
From our free afterschool program to our in school social-emotional support, everything is focused on supporting scholars in overcoming barriers to learning and achievement. Propel high school scholars can participate in the Career Pathways program in which they will graduate from high school with up to 31 college credits at no cost. Currently, the Career Pathways program includes nursing and IT with more career being added.
The right school can be the difference between a life defined by limitations or by achievement. At Propel Schools, our educators redefine school so that our scholars can defy expectations.
Our enrollment process is based on a blind lottery system. Families can apply for the 2022-2023 school year before December 31, 2021. Come check us out at www.propelschools.org/apply.
