It's stellar academics, safe and nurturing environment, and caring teachers made my child's 9 years at VCS a wonderful experience. I would do it all over again and chose VCS for his elementary and middle school years. We didn't know about VCS in preschool otherwise he would have started as a three-year-old. Many thanks to VCS for your investment in my son!

The Quaker values that are an integral part of the school community help your child become a better person. My son is kind, generous, has empathy toward others, and has excellent critical thinking skills. My husband and I are not rich and made sacrifices to allow our son to attend AFS. It was worth every penny. Contrary to other reviews, it is not a school for the wealthy and they celebrate community diversity. Every child deserves the education that AFS provides, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I see a very active sports soccer team in the parking lot. Their campus was gorgeous! Makes me wish I knew about them instead of going to Central High school freshmen year when I was younger! I would have gotten in on full scholarship just based on my top notch city wide scores test where I was like 95-98% then! Oh so proud of the good old beainy days! Lol! Oh I think I heard it was a scholarship or tuition based school. What it takes to qualify I don't know. You gotta do some research! My advice to scholars: straight A's, state standard testing and extracurricular activities and hobbies and travel when young are the way to go! All the best luck to the kids who do go here!

08' ALUM, first to review, woot-woot!…read more I ADORE MaST Charter and seriously miss it so much. A lot has changed for the better since I graduated. Not that anything was wrong when I was there, but all of us alum are jealous of the new broadcasting studio, library/lounge, and entire new building! This school is a K-12, meaning if you're child is lucky enough to get in early, you would be a fool to send them to another school. MaST is easily the best school in Philadelphia. Why you ask? Do you know any other charter school that has a multimillion dollar expansion, small classroom sizes, teachers who know every student in the grade by first and last name? Also, I was just telling someone how you could never skip class at MaST no matter how slick you think you are. The teachers notice when their students are gone and will notify their parent/guardian. I know from experience... oooucch. As lame as it sounds, this school is seriously like a gigantic family. I know plenty of people who went to public schools or other charters and they are shocked to hear that I graduated with 77 other students. We were are friends or at least acquaintances and went on a class trip to Disney together. MaST now has opportunities to take trips abroad (with chaperone's of course). This school is also EXTREMELY safe. No metal detectors or security is needed here. Save all that fro Washington or Lincoln. From an educational standpoint, I thought this school was not a walk in the park by any means. You could always get help if you needed it, whether it was from teachers staying late to other students. They have a good amount of sports teams at MaST except football which a lot of the boys complained about, but they would have tag football games from time to time. I had such a great time in high school (I went to MaST such 5th grade, but really started to appreciate it in 8th-12th). Apply ASAP! Students are chosen by a lottery system. I will be back to visit at least twice a year for the raffle and to see my fave teachers!

The facility is large enough for two full courts, and it is used morning 'til late afternoon on Sundays to fit in all the teams playing in this age bracket. Like most public schools in the lower grades, it lacks bleachers. Parents stand/sit around the edge of the courts to watch their kids play. The referees are local people trained in wearing black and white stripes and a whistle. They do an excellent job keeping the games under control, especially given the reality that most of these boys and not yet developed into skilled athletes. They don't call every foul or violation, because the game would never be completed it they did that. They let the game go and try to allow everyone to have fun while they compete. Thanks to all the volunteers who coach, keep time and score, and maintain the facilities for the rest of us. Kudos to the parents for coming out and letting their kids play the game without parental interference. It is good to see everyone again this season.
