SLA @ Beeber – Learn, Create, Lead

SLA @ Beeber is an inquiry driven, project based learning school that focuses on developing students’ skills in our core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, and reflection. We have a lower school for students in grades 5-8 and an upper school for grades 9-12, and offer CTE programs in Engineering and Education for high school students.

87% of our graduates have gone to college and stayed in college year after year for the past five years. We are proud that this retention rate is the 3rd highest of all schools in the School District Philadelphia.
