11th ANNUAL DIVERSITY conference
Constellation of Us:
RISE, RESIST, REACH FOR THE STARS
On Saturday, January 31, 2026, SCH Academy will welcome more than 200 high school and mature eighth-grade students from dozens of schools across the Philadelphia region for our annual SCHout Diversity Conference. Now in its 11th year, this student-led experience continues to grow and inspire, building on more than a decade of youth leadership and community building.

Throughout the day, attendees will hear keynote reflections, participate in a story exchange designed to cultivate radical empathy, and engage in dynamic social action workshops led by our 45 student facilitators. These facilitators have been hard at work since October, collaborating to design an experience that challenges, affirms, and inspires every participant to leave ready to create ripples of change in their own schools and communities.

As we celebrate the 11th anniversary of SCHout, we honor the alumni, faculty, and community partners who have nurtured this conference since its creation in 2015, and we look forward to another day of dialogue, growth, and action.
