Parkway Center City Middle College provides a liberal arts, college readiness education that prepares ALL scholars for matriculation in and graduation from college/university, and career.
Parkway Center City Middle College (PCCMC) in partnership with Community College of Philadelphia (CCP), requires that all scholars participate in a college level summer bridge course before entering Parkway in the 10th grade fall semester. During years one and two, scholars are engaged in rigorous course content at both sites (PCCMC and CCP) that is reflective of college level courses with encouragement and support from the entire school community including CCP. In Year three and four, scholars will be immersed in college level courses at CCP leading to multiple pathways such as obtaining an Associate degree in Liberal Arts, earning a minimum of 48 college credits, or Industry certifications in Computer Program or Entrepreneurship.
Our staff supports a culture of high expectations for teaching and learning. Scholars are engaged, encouraged, and empowered to graduate successfully from PCCMC with a High School diploma and an Associate’s Degree (CCP). Furthermore, our vision is that scholars will continue college to earn a Bachelor’s Degree and /or complete successful career options. Our parents, families and guardians are full partners in fostering academic achievement, personal responsibility, and self-actualization. We encourage our scholars to develop entrepreneurial attitudes, peer leadership and community service to prepare for their future as members of the global economy and citizens of the world.
The uniqueness of the Middle College program provides students the opportunity to complete their high school years with a high school diploma and an Associate’s Degree. In order to accomplish this, students will be fully matriculated into CCP for their Junior and Senior years. In order to begin Junior and Senior year at CCP, students are expected to be performing at college level in both Math and English and will be administered a placement test. The placement test is a requirement from CCP for all students attending the college. By the end of Sophomore year, if students do not place at college level they will not be able to continue their years at PCCMC as there will not be any Junior or Senior classes held at the high school level.
