Philadelphia, PA
America’s history, taught where it happened. A boarding school with deep roots in the humanities — and a direct line to the country’s top universities.
This isn’t a school for everyone. That’s the point.
A nationally recognized humanities program. History, literature, philosophy, and political science are taught with the rigor of a college seminar.
Consistent Ivy League and top-25 placements. College counselors here have direct relationships with admissions offices at the most competitive schools.
The campus itself is a teaching tool. Students study American history steps away from Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the nation’s founding sites.
Colonial Heritage Academy partners with Global Link Advisors on these specific placement tracks.
Complete academic year with on-campus housing, meals, and full access to all academic and extracurricular programs. Multi-year enrollment available.
An accelerated humanities track with independent research, visiting scholar lectures, and a senior thesis presented to a faculty panel.
Intensive college counseling for top-tier university applications, including interview prep, essay workshops, and alumni networking.
A rigorous college-prep curriculum designed for internationally minded students.
American History, Political Science, Philosophy, Comparative Literature, and Economics.
Latin, French, Spanish, and Mandarin offered at multiple proficiency levels.
Advanced ESL with academic writing focus, humanities vocabulary development, and debate coaching for non-native speakers.
