About Martin Luther School – Whitemarsh

Martin Luther School – Whitemarsh provides a comprehensive educational program for K-12 students who would benefit from additional social, emotional, behavioral, and learning support. Students are referred to MLS from their home school district or charter school.

Our program combines academic rigor with a Restorative Practices approach to nurture each student’s growth as they build problem-solving skills and healthy relationships. With a strong focus on literacy, math, and the full range of Pennsylvania core academics — plus engaging electives and athletics — teachers accompany students from across Greater Philadelphia with purpose and pride.
The new, transformational Whitemarsh campus expands opportunities for our growing school community of 240+ students with a modern, bright school campus with classrooms and facilities designed for creativity and exploration, including private counseling spaces, electives like e-sports, art, family consumer science and more, and outdoor learning and recreation spaces.
We are currently fundraising for Phase 2 of the Campaign for Gemma, which will raise crucial funds for the addition of a state-of-the-art sports facility at Martin Luther School – Whitemarsh, including a track and field, to support the Panthers athletic program.
