Green Woods is a free, public charter school - open to all students. As a public charter school, Green Woods receives 20% less funding compared to other Philadelphia Public schools. That's close to $2,000 less per student each year and we receive no funding for facilities! A gift to Green Woods is an investment in sustainability, the future of a student, and the future of our city and our planet.
Help us bridge the gap in funding with a secure online donation.
