More about PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL
Founded in 1972, the school has grown in size, complexity, and diversity while remaining rooted in progressive educational values. TPS is currently seeking a full-time, twelve-month School Nurse to support student health and wellness across the school community. The School Nurse role at TPS involves providing health care through assessment, intervention, and follow-up for all children in a school setting. The nurse promotes optimal physical, mental, emotional, and social health, supporting students' achievement in the learning process. Core hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, covering both school-day and after-school programming. As an independent school, TPS operates outside the public School District of Philadelphia system and serves a smaller, more focused student population.
The Philadelphia School's mission is rooted in progressive values established by its founders: immersive learning, responsive pedagogy, and meaningful engagement with the world. The school emphasizes diversity, growth, and a holistic approach to education that addresses the developmental needs of each child.
