Philosophy

=Philosophy= Philadelphia Girls Academy is a mixture of essentialism ideas and Social Reconstructionism. We believe in increasing the brain power with not just the core skills of education, but to help students solve real life problems. This is so our students will be worldy and have it accompanied by their intellengence. For example, we have a humanities class that teaches about what the world is like and help stimulate the students to come up with solutions to our world. This class is not very conventional, but shows part of our Social Reconstructionism side. We have all of our math based class help students learn the math but in such a way that their taut in real life situations that you might need it for. This means that it helps students learn math and how it helps in the medical feild and doing your taxes, for example. In our Phyical education/health program, our students learn about internal workings of the body, how to eat right and also the proceedures to go through in a life threating situation.
