School Overview

Inquiry CS sits in the heart of West Philadelphia, a neighborhood defined by its mix of university energy, row-home communities, and a deeply rooted sense of local identity. Despite its name emphasizing computer science, the school's academic profile suggests it's still finding its footing across core subjects, making it a better fit for families who are drawn to a project-based or inquiry-driven philosophy and are willing to invest in supporting their child's learning at home. Families who value the surrounding neighborhood's walkability, proximity to Drexel and Penn, and a smaller, mission-driven school environment may find it worth a closer look.
