About SLA

The Science Leadership Academy is a partnership high school between the School District of Philadelphia and The Franklin Institute. SLA is an inquiry-driven, project-based high school focused on 21st century learning that opened its doors on September 7, 2006.

SLA provides a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum with a focus on science, technology, mathematics and entrepreneurship. Students at SLA learn in a project-based environment where the core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation and reflection are emphasized in all classes.

Michael Dell to Visit SLA

Posted by Jeremy Spry in FREE-024 on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 6:23 pm

Michael Dell will be touring SLA and speaking to the 11th and 12th grade on Thursday, April 25th at 1:30 at SLA. We ask that all SLA students dress professionally and wear their lab coats. Michael Dell is the founder of Dell Computers, and he is being honored with an award at The Franklin Institute Thursday night.

This is an incredible honor for SLA, and it continues the wonderful partnership between SLA and TFI that has brought speakers such as Dr. Stephen Squyres and Bill Gates to the school.
