Our Partnership with The Frick

Propel's Schools' partnership with The Frick Pittsburgh exemplifies the added value that community-based organizations can provide. For more than a decade, this collaboration has enriched the lives of Propel scholars by providing them with unique, hands-on learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom walls. These experiences expose scholars to art, history, and culture, fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts and broadening their horizons. This partnership aligns with Propel's mission of transforming public education.
