We are beyond thrilled to announce that Northern Connection Magazine has featured The Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School (PALCS) has been featured on the cover of their 2025 Education Guide!
Northern Connection is a community magazine local to Pittsburgh and its surrounding suburbs. The magazine’s mission is to “make our community an outstanding place to live and work.” They do this by highlighting different community resources and opportunities in the area, including schools. As such, this exciting recognition from them highlights PALCS as an exceptional school choice for students in PA.
In the article, Dr. Karla Johnson, our Chief Academic Officer (CAO), shares her thoughts on what exactly makes PALCS so special and how we provide an unparalleled educational experience. The short answer is our innovative curriculum, supportive community, and genuine care for our students—the three things we like to call the PALCS Advantage.
