Admissions
People for People Charter School is a public charter school that welcomes students from all over Philadelphia through a lottery-based system. To apply for the current or upcoming school year, families can visit applyphillycharter.org. The lottery for the 2023-24 school year was held on February 9, 2023, and any applications submitted after the deadline will be added to the waitlist. If you have a child already enrolled in PFPCS and wish to apply for a sibling, you can do so through Apply Philly Charter (APC) applyphillycharter.org by providing the current student's name and birthdate at the end of the application.
