About Russell Byers Charter School

Russell Byers Charter School proffers early care and education programs in a center setting in Philadelphia. As a center, Russell Byers Charter School provides a structured, stable environment day in and day out that parents can count on. This school-like learning arena at Russell Byers Charter School can help prepare students for formal school but also make the most of today, with all the resources and opportunities to explore the world around them and the peer set that provides abundant socialization opportunities. With a full-time schedule, as well, Russell Byers Charter School allows parents to work and assume other responsibilities while their children are playing and learning amongst their peers. Children have the opportunity to get used to the natural rhythms of a daily structured learning environment with a full-time schedule, which can help smooth the transition into kindergarten and future education. The full-time schedule allows plenty of opportunities for creativity and fun, too, as the day always feels too short when you’re having fun! Russell Byers Charter School also offers a technology curriculum that helps prepare students early for the twenty-first century. Students will experience hands-on technology activities that develop their creativity, initiative and natural curiosity, all through a lens of the tools and media that will only grow in importance in their lives in the years to come. Interacting with technology in a structured curriculum will also help students view technology as a medium through which to explore and discover rather than just a means to passively consume entertainment.
