William Penn Charter School is a Quaker, all-gender, pre-K-12 independent, day school in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia.
Established in 1689 by William Penn and members of the Religious Society of Friends, Penn Charter is a community guided by Quaker testimonies and the central belief that there is "that of God" in every person.
A school community that honors difference, Penn Charter seeks to be a place where diversity is understood, represented, and valued.
Our curriculum embraces a plurality of cultures and celebrates an array of voices, instilling in us a deeper understanding and empathy for individuals in this community and the world.
We value scholarship and inquiry.
With excellence as our standard, we challenge students in a vigorous program of academics, arts, and athletics.
Through global connections, civic engagement, and a focus on environmental sustainability, we inspire students to be thinkers, collaborators, innovators, and leaders.
We educate students to live lives that make a difference.
We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Upper School Social Studies teacher for the 2026-2027 school year.
