Welcome to Philo-Hill Magnet Academy

Vision: To create technology-enhanced learning environments that connect to and extend beyond the classrooms wherein students, teachers, families, and the community engage in promoting student learning through inquiry-based and problem-based learning approaches while using innovative teaching and learning techniques.

We support and encourage family and community engagement in partnership with highly effective teachers in our diverse and culturally competent learning environment.

Collaboration: We work together to support each other’s efforts to meet every student’s needs. Equity: We honor diversity by addressing barriers to success for every student. High Expectations: We challenge ourselves to inspire every student’s pursuit of greatness. Integrity: We align our actions, beliefs, and values to support every student.
