Russell Byers Charter School is a Philadelphia-based charter school offering a rigorous academic program grounded in Expeditionary Learning. The approach emphasizes student responsibility for learning and aims to develop strong communicators, creative problem solvers, and compassionate, engaged citizens who can pursue opportunities in selective schools and continue a love of learning. The school centers five guiding characteristics, including an early learning pathway that starts with four-year-olds in a two-year, full-day kindergarten, Expeditionary Learning as the core framework, attention to the whole child through arts, physical education, and digital literacy, a network of partnerships with local organizations, and ongoing support after graduation. Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the school engages with a diverse urban community and collaborates with local partners such as The School Collective, Playworks, Springboard Collaborative, Dancing Classrooms Philly, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Outward Bound, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and others to broaden learning opportunities.
