About CPS

Community Partnership School is an independent elementary school serving children in the North Central area of Philadelphia. It is a joint project between Germantown Academy, the oldest nonsectarian day school in the nation, located in Ft. Washington, and Project H.O.M.E., a large social services agency providing supportive housing and comprehensive services to underserved populations in the greater Philadelphia area.

CPS offers a unique educational opportunity that combines an outstanding academic curriculum with access to technological resources and wide-ranging services for low-income students and their families.
