About us
The Philadelphia Learning and Achievement Network (PLAN) provides opportunities for Philadelphia students and their parents/guardians to explore the fundamentals of college preparation, career exploration, and financial literacy.
Who we are
The PLAN committee comprises college administrators and admission counselors, working professionals from Temple University, and dedicated community members from the greater Philadelphia region. Together, we have committed to providing students with the best PLAN to succeed in their educational pursuits.
What we do
The Philadelphia Learning and Achievement Network offers a forum in which families can ask questions, receive answers and discuss the realities of achieving post-secondary education. By attending our events, the students and families of School District of Philadelphia will have a new set of tools to make sure students are ready to plan for their future.
Our goals
Our goal for each event is to provide
- Early exposure to the college admissions and financial aid processes via presentations from Temple University’s Admissions, Academic Advising, Career Services and Student Financial Services offices.
- Knowledge to form an in-depth understanding of the collegiate application processes, including timelines, key terms, and deadlines.
- Networking opportunities with fellow students, families and professionals throughout Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
- Self-awareness of each student’s academic potential by helping connect their personal interests to future careers and professions.
When will these events happen?
Information sessions and campus events will occur in the fall and spring of each year, allowing students and families to attend the various academic sessions and workshops as they please.
