About CCSA Foundation
CCSA Foundation's sole purpose is to support the mission of Chester Charter Scholars Academy (CCSA), an arts integrated, K-12 non-profit public charter school offering an exceptional educational option in Chester, PA. On an annual basis, the generosity of donors allows the Foundation to contribute $600,000 to CCSA that is invested directly in the operations and programs of the school.
Every child can know their fullest potential.
Over the last decade, CCSA has made great progress from our initial K-6 school that served just over 250 students. We now educate 695 children across thirteen grade levels, making us the only K–12 school in Chester. CCSA Foundation and the support of its donors have played an important role in making that possible.
