Welcome to the Delaware Valley Charter High School (DVCHS) Website.  DVCHS was founded in 2000 by a group of individuals who desired to offer an alternative for Philadelphia high school students.  In July 2005, DVCHS experienced a change in leadership.  Our new leadership team is committed to increasing student performance, enhancing staff morale, and providing a safe and secure learning environment at the school and in the surrounding neighborhood.  We have a total of 80 school employees, including dedicated teachers, administration, security officers, and support staff.  We are particularly proud of our security staff, and the professional manner in which they maintain an orderly and safe learning environment.

We have developed a Strategic Plan for Reform that not only addresses our academic and personal goals, but also includes programs for potential positive community involvement, partnerships with surrounding businesses and organizations. We are excited about the 2007-2008 school year. Under our new leadership team, our students will experience a brand new curriculum, taught by teachers who enjoy coming to work every day. We expect not only an increase in our test scores, but also an increase in our social and emotional skills.
