About:

This beautiful one-floor facility is a special place where positive and productive energy can be sensed as soon as one enters the building. A walk down the corridors affords any visitor an opportunity to the daily business of teaching and learning. The students work creatively with a highly qualified diverse group of teachers and support staff. Samples of students’ work are proudly displayed in the classrooms and hallways.

This school year marks our second as one of three Magnet Schools in the William Penn School District. Aldan is a “Basic” school. The Basics school is based on the belief that learning takes place best in a well-planned educational environment. The basic skills of mathematics, reading, writing and self-discipline are emphasized, as well as the establishment of good study habits. Parents encourage their children to succeed in school; they support the attitudes, values, and experiences of the school and check that assignments are carried out.
