Mastery Charter lenfest is an amazing school with spectacular and caring faculty. I'm very impressed with the level of involvement that each Teacher give to the students. I also love the fact that Lenfest has so many male Teachers and Educators who are very involved in helping male students who may not otherwise have role models in their life be a better version of themselves. Mastery Charter lenfest is a safe place to learn where inclusiveness is the core. Mastery Charter lenfest also encourage parent involvement on a large scale. My son and I had a wonderful and rewarding experience at Mastery charter lenfest and I would definitely recommend this school to any family.

Forget everything you thought you knew about Mastery Charter Schools. Introducing Mastery 3.0: the "new and improved" version, as of 2014. Mastery has thrown out its criticized but effective discipline systems of the past and replaced it with feel-good propaganda. Under Mastery 3.0, classrooms are o...

Mastery is over-hyped. Most of the teachers are Teach for America. That means most of the teachers start without an education degree, without a teacher certification, and without any real-world teaching experience. Oh, and they also happen to be young, preppy, and recently graduated from college. Th...
