Open house tomorrow for city's new Truebright charter

Truebright Science Academy Charter School, scheduled to open in the city in September, will hold its final open house for prospective students from 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Logan branch, 1333 Wagner Ave.

Truebright's college-prep program will focus on math, science and technology. Although the charter will eventually span seventh through 12th grades, it will open with 200 students in seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The charter will be on West Sedgley Avenue within walking distance of Temple University Hospital.

The student application deadline is 6 p.m. Monday. - Martha Woodall
