Philadelphia Academies, Inc.

Philadelphia Academies, Inc. (PAI), was established in 1969 to address the dropout crisis plaguing Philadelphia schools through a Career Academy Model which has since been replicated nationally by over 8,000 schools. Today our programming focuses on Workforce Development Initiatives, Teacher & School Leader Support, and real-world Career Experiences. These efforts are designed to focus on generating post-secondary opportunities better suited to achieving our mission of improving outcomes for Philadelphia’s young people.
