Mount Airy Learning Tree

Mt. Airy is a unique community of tree-lined streets, close to parks, with a mixture of large homes, row houses and apartment complexes, and public and private schools. Germantown Avenue is the main thoroughfare of the community and the business district. The Germantown/Mt. Airy/Chestnut Hill area, which makes up the Northwest part of Philadelphia, is also an historic area which played pivotal roles during the Colonial period and the Revolutionary War. A spirit of cooperation permeates the neighborhood in the various community organizations, and has contributed, in part, to the area being one of the national models of a successfully integrated neighborhood. People continue to work on solving problems that arise.
