About

SquashSmarts is dedicated to improving the lives of underserved youth from Philadelphia public schools by providing intensive, long-term academic tutoring and squash instruction, while imparting high standards of personal integrity, health and fitness, and service to the community. SquashSmarts students are selected in 5th-8th grades based on commitment, effort and attitude, not athletic or academic ability. Students are recruited from five partner middle schools: Esperanza Academy Charter, Morton McMichael Elementary, E.W. Rhodes Elementary, Overbrook Educational Center and Carver Engineering & Science Middle School.
