The Founding Schools Advantage
Schools participating in the Philadelphia pilot will receive a unique opportunity to experience the CourAgeOUS program through a six-week pilot while gaining priority access to the full 36-week program. This opportunity is reserved for the first 250 schools joining the Philadelphia Founding Schools Initiative.
6-Week Pilot. 36-Week Program. Same Founding Rate.
Sponsored schools begin with the six-week CourAgeOUS pilot program, allowing students and educators to experience the program’s creative and leadership-focused learning approach.
After completing the pilot, Founding Schools will have the exclusive option to renew the full 36-week program at the same $9,995 founding rate, providing a full academic year of arts-integrated learning.
This special renewal privilege is available only to the first 250 participating schools in the Philadelphia pilot.
