Community School

Overbrook Educational Center was designated a Community School by City and District officials in 2019. This has enabled us to form stronger partnerships that enhance student, family, and neighborhood engagement. In 2024, OEC was named as one of the City’s Extended Day Extended Year (EDEY) schools, providing year-round programming for families. Through our Out-of-School Time partner,Legacy Youth Tennis Education, we offer Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer Break camps. Please contact our Community School Coordinator, Kiki Newman, if you are interested in partnering with OEC or for more information on EDEY schools.

Food Distribution

On Wednesdays, OEC gives away food to school and neighborhood community members through a partnership with Philabundance. We have proteins, grains, produce, canned goods, and other non-perishable items. Stop by between 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm on 68th Street. During inclement weather, we move inside. Bags are available!
