About Us:

At Philip’s Education Partners, we are committed to one goal above all else: helping our young men and women build a strong foundation for life. While teaching math, science or history is certainly essential, what we’re really about is instilling a hunger and determination in our students to forge their own life path. A path of potential, purpose, and pride. That’s why we strive to ignite a true passion for learning in every one of them. It’s why we create a learning environment where they can explore, get their hands dirty, and feel free to make mistakes. Most importantly, it’s why we surround our students with love, as well as high expectations, so they develop the confidence to break through any barrier they face in life.

Why do we do what we do?

Because when young men and women have a solid foundation, they push past the life that is handed to them and seize the life they imagine for themselves.
