Hide Profile

The William Penn Charter School, an independent college preparatory school, had its beginnings in the Public Grammar School founded in 1689 as a result of instructions from William Penn to the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania. Thomas Lloyd, president of the Council, requested Philadelphia Monthly Meeting to take charge of the matter. In 1708 Penn signed a charter removing the responsibility for the school from the Meeting and giving it to an appointed Board of Quaker Overseers.
