About Chester Community Charter School

Chester Community Charter School(CCCS) opened its doors on September 9, 1998, serving 97 students from its modest, four, meeting rooms in the lobby of the Howard Johnson Hotel, in Chester, PA.

Since that time, the school has steadily grown to include more than 4200 students in 12 state-of-the-art buildings, spanning four campuses. It is now the largest brick-and-mortar charter school in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

In fact, when CCCS opened its first permanent structure in 2001, it was the first new school building constructed in Chester-Upland, since 1975. By comparison, the average age of a school building owned by the Chester-Upland School District is 64 years.

At CCCS, the concept of "safe schools" extends beyond our strict adherence to a no-tolerance policy on violence or aggressive behavior. It also includes an equally strong, top-down commitment to ensuring that our school's buildings, and other facilities, are safe for occupation by students, teachers and staff members, without risk of exposure to age-related, unhealthy contamination from asbestos, lead or other toxic materials.

Through collaboration with the Gureghian Charitable Foundation, and CCCS's High School Search and Selection Program, more than $9.5 million in scholarships and financial assistance to prestigious private secondary schools have been awarded to 350 of the school's graduates, to date.
