Media Info
Independence Mission Schools is one of the most inspiring stories in Philadelphia education.
A story like no other.
Taking on 15 struggling businesses for a turnaround venture is not generally a recipe for success. But after five years of dedication from enthusiastic supporters and partners across the Philadelphia region, Independence Mission Schools has built a successful model for urban Catholic education that now educates 4,800 low-income children of all faiths.
IMS is making a lasting impact in Philadelphia by transforming the education landscape for struggling families. Philadelphia has a strong legacy of Catholic education, and IMS is doing vital work to keep that resource alive for the next generation.
