Lotus Academy Early Learning Center

6110 Wissahickon Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19144
The Lotus Academy was founded in 1974, and has operated since that time on the basis of one primary objective: creating an academically superior and culturally affirming institution that develops future leaders and thinkers.
Because the Lotus Academy is a private, independent school that receives no funding from city, state, or federal sources, it is able to operate on a very selective admissions basis.
Every student applicant is tested and observed, and must meet our high academic and developmental standards in order to be accepted for admission.
All incoming students' previous report cards and school records are thoroughly reviewed prior to their admission to ensure that their behavioral and character development will also allow them to be successful in a program where conduct is as important as academic performance.
