Soaring to Success by developing strong Characters, Academics, Relationships, and Entreprenuers for a life of leadership.
The Penn Hills Charter School of Entrepreneurship will provide a hands-on, engaging program designed to bring entrepreneurial and economic concepts alive for students. The lessons related to the core elementary school curriculum of science, math, social studies, and language arts will incorporate the basic economic and entrepreneurial concepts.
Young entrepreneurs produce goods and services, elected officials establish laws, Crime Stoppers keep the peace, judges arbitrate disputes, and reporters track down stories. All citizens earn wages in the school’s “inventive” currency, invest in product ideas, deposit and borrow money from “inventive” banks, and pay taxes, tuition and rent.
Our mission is to provide children in the Penn Hills and surrounding communities with a world-class education that will not only prepare them academically but develop informed, responsible world citizens, creative problem solvers, and effective communicators for lives of leadership, accomplishment, and exemplary character. We believe that children of all cultures and abilities can learn and be challenged to reach their highest potential.
