About the Provider

Advertisement
Belmont Academy Charter School (BACS), founded by Michael Karp, opened its doors in 1998 with the mission to provide an Belmont Academy Charterintensive education program to underserved children in West Philadelphia. Recognizing that children living in poverty have historically faced the greatest risk of school failure, BACS seeks to break this cycle by providing high need students with comprehensive educational opportunities. Housed in a historic building which formerly served as a neighborhood church, BACS exudes the feeling of an intimate "family" based style of learning. Belmont Academy Charter currently serves 237 students in grades K4, Head Start, and Kindergarten.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
