Widener Partnership Charter School

First in the State

Located next to our main campus, the Widener Partnership Charter School (WPCS) is Pennsylvania’s first university-based charter school. We launched the charter school in 2006 in partnership with community leaders and residents of Chester. It takes a holistic approach to K-8 education, equipping the next generation with skills and resources to succeed.

Field Experience at Your Fingertips

As a Widener student, you will gain invaluable real-world experience in the school, preparing you for your future profession. As an early childhood / special education major, you can conduct a field placement there, supporting and enhancing the instruction of classroom teachers.

As a graduate student in our social work, clinical psychology, or physical therapy programs, you can provide a range of support services to charter school children and their families.

Future Widener Students

Widener Partnership Charter School alumni who meet our admission criteria during their high school years are eligible for grants of $100,000 over four years to pursue an undergraduate education full time at Widener.
