Chester Arthur Public School | Center City Schools

The Arthur School faculty will maximize the potential of all students in all areas of the curriculum. In working with parents and the community as partners in education, we can provide the necessary tools for our students to become lifelong learners and to be productive citizens in this technological world.

Our status as a “Reading First” school marks us as a signature school for literacy. We have received a 6-year long government grant to enhance our literacy program. This partnership provides us with an onsite reading specialist who works with both students and teachers to improve all areas pertaining to literacy.

Arthur’s campus features three separate courtyards for recreation and a community garden. Mural Arts partnered with the school to create nature-themed murals in the courtyards. The children enjoyed participating in the artistic process, and continue to benefit from the beauty of the murals as they play and learn in the courtyard spaces.

Arthur also boasts a technology lab and a science lab which enhance the educational experience for students.
