The Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) mission is to drive exceptional outcomes for all students by developing great teachers and building paths to college and career success. PEF began in 1985, when local business and civic leaders formed the Philadelphia Alliance for Teaching Humanities in the Schools/Philadelphia Renaissance in Science and Mathematics. Later, the School District launched the Philadelphia Schools Collaborative to focus on high school reform. In 1995, these entities merged to form PEF. Today, as the city’s most comprehensive, full-service education organization, PEF works tirelessly to expand and improve educational opportunities available to local youth and envisions a Philadelphia where all young people have the skills, knowledge, opportunity, and access to the resources they need to succeed in college and careers.
