About the Learning Program

SLA is an inquiry-driven, project-based 21st Century school with a 1:1 laptop program. SLA believes that learning should not stop with the school walls or the end of the of the school day. Learning should — and does — happen 24/7/365.

The school is a partnership high school between the School District of Philadelphia and The Franklin Institute.
