Mastery Charter School, Shoemaker Campus
Shoemaker Campus
Shoemaker is one of 7 campuses that function under the umbrella of Mastery Charter Schools. Uniquely partnered with the School District of Philadelphia, Mastery undertook Shoemaker in 2006 as a low-performing district school, one of the worst in Philadelphia. Since then, Shoemaker has become an integral part of the success and national recognition of Mastery Charter Schools. Shoemaker upholds Master’s mission, “All students learn the academic and personal skills they need to succeed in higher education, to compete in the global economy, and to pursue their dreams.” The vision of Mastery and subsequently Shoemaker is twofold- to close the achievement gap amongst minority and under-served students and to ensure that these same students go “to and through” college.
