Parent Community

Parents, Teachers, and Schools

Parents are one of the most vital assets in a child's life.  Here at the Alliance for Progress Charter School our mission is to partner with parents in the education of our children.  Every child's first teacher is their parents.  We believe that each teacher must partner with their students parents, and each parent must partner with their child's teacher in order to support and educate the whole child.  In short teachers need parents and parents need teachers.  Therefore it is our belief that together we can achieve a winning team, where students at AFPCS excel on all levels, with the proper and adequate resources.

The Alliance for Progress Charter School has some of the best, most supportive and productive families in the City of Philadelphia.  Our parents and families volunteer, make donations, help with career day, make meals for our International festival, attend field trips, serve on the parent advisory board, and attend our monthly F.U.N. events (Family Unity Nights) just to name a few.

Many of our board members are parents whose children have graduated from AFPCS and they are still committed to serving our school and the needs of our children.  Parents at AFPCS have been lead supporters in our annual Kiddie Prom, our Field Day, our Cherrydale candy sale, our Annual Harvest Festival, our Black History Showcase, our Winter Program.  Each year our parent Advisory Board leads their own weekly pretzel sells and an annual fundraiser featuring Claire's Gourmet.  Parents can be found as team members in educating and supporting our children daily.  Great Schools with Great Parents equals Great Children.
