Jubilee School is a vibrant, PreK- 6th Grade independent school in Philadelphia dedicated to empowering young minds through creativity, critical thinking, and community engagement. For almost 50 years, we’ve fostered a love of learning by integrating arts, social justice, and hands-on exploration into every aspect of our curriculum.

Approach to Education

At Jubilee, we offer a unique, non-traditional educational approach. Our students’ natural curiosity is the basis for inquiry, discovery, and learning. Our curriculum, which aligns with Pennsylvania standards, is centered around encouraging students to use their observations of the world to guide their learning. Teachers actively support and nurture students' ideas, integrating them into the curriculum to create a dynamic and meaningful learning experience.

Our Mission

Hear from our community:

  • “Jubilee is the type of school every child wants to go to. We learn about our true Black History. We learn who we are, how to think for ourselves and to have great ideas...Our voice is loud and everywhere we like to send a message.

  • “What an honor it is to know these young dream makers”

  • “I can't say enough good things about the education, the culture, and community at Jubilee School. Every teacher in the school is committed to every child, and they have a relationship with each student, and parents. The educational experience embodies child centered learning. I know my child will be well rounded, globally conscious and prepared to be an empowered decision maker when he moves on from Jubilee.”
