Project Learn School

Dear PL Community Members and Supporters.
It is with heavy hearts that earlier this week PLAC, who was empowered by the 2021-2022 school community at a May 4 Town Meeting, has determined that Project Learn School can not open its doors for the 2022-23 school year. A decision has yet to be made about future years. Rebounding from this winter's flood in the basements and the pandemic has proven to be too challenging at least in the short term. It is simply not feasible to go into another school year with our current level of financial insecurity. PLAC made this incredibly difficult and emotional decision - knowing full-well the hard position it puts our current staff and families in, but we worked all summer to try to come to a different decision. Rest assured that we are doing everything possible to assist our families in finding new placements for their child(ren).
PLAC will meet next week and begin the process of planning PL's next steps. There will be many tasks in the weeks and months ahead that will require the support of our extended community. If you are interested in learning more about how you can support PL at this time, please reach out to Kevin Kleinman - [email protected] or Aisha Anderson-Oberman - [email protected]. We will also be creating time to mourn and celebrate our history and legacy together. We will keep you informed of opportunities as they arise.

If your family has an outstanding balance with PL, please reach out to Aisha ([email protected]) as soon as possible to avoid collection activity.

If you are a business business or community partner, please reach out to Aisha ([email protected]) as well to explore next steps.

Co-operatively yours,
Aisha (Educational Coordinator)

Hey there, PLS Community!
We’re back in full swing. After a two year hiatus, our annual school musical is this Friday at 10 am and 7 pm at the Cheltenham Center for the Arts (439 Ashbourne Rd.). Tickets are $8 for kids and $12 for adults. Call school at 215-438-3623 to pre-order tickets or purchase them at the door. See you there!

And we’re back! Today, we reopened our school building after 2.5 months of work following a flood in the north basement over winter break. It felt wonderful to be back in the building and witness the first signs of spring. There’s still work to be done, but for this moment we are grateful for our building, sunshine and our community. Plus, we got to meet our youngest community member, Wren, for the first time. Community support is always welcome as we recover at projectlearnschool.org/donate or PayPal.me/projectlearnschool.
