FACTS Charter School (Folk Arts–Cultural Treasures School) is seeking its next Executive Director — a visionary, community-rooted leader ready to steward one of Philadelphia’s most beloved K–8 public charter schools into its next chapter.
For more than two decades, FACTS has been a national model for joyful, identity-affirming, community-grounded education. With deep roots in Philadelphia’s Chinatown and immigrant and refugee communities, FACTS blends rigorous academics with a pioneering folk-arts-infused curriculum, and is powered by an extraordinary team of educators, families, and cultural partners.
This next chapter is a transformational one. The new Executive Director will lead a possible move and expansion into a brand-new building—guiding a moment of growth while preserving the strong, inclusive, mission-driven community FACTS is known for. They will partner with a talented Principal, a deeply committed staff, and a highly engaged community that has built FACTS into the thriving, culturally rich school it is today.
If you believe schools should be places where culture, equity, and academic excellence come together to empower young people, this is a remarkable opportunity to lead with purpose and impact. See the Work at FACTS page for the job posting.
