Why PHP?

PHP is part of a small group of schools run by Hebrew Public: Charter Schools for Global Citizens. We are NOT a religious or Jewish organization (we know the word Hebrew can be confusing in that regard!). We ARE a network of public charter schools that help children become global citizens who are great problem solvers, aware communicators, and lifelong learners who make a positive difference in the world around them. Join a supportive community dedicated to making a meaningful impact—together, we’re building something extraordinary!
