Leave Your Wallet at Home.

There's an abundant wealth of knowledge and know-how here in Phoenixville. Sometimes we just don't know how to find or share it!

Here's a new (old) way that makes learning accessible to everyone. Plus, it's fun!

Phoenixville Trade School is bringing creative classes to spots all around town. Leave your wallet at home, because we do not accept money! That's where the "trade" comes in!

Each instructor will list what s/he would like from students in exchange for a spot in the class. It could be tomatoes from your garden, a favorite recipe, a bike tuneup, or a poem. And classes will be offered in everything from philosophy to balloon animals to nutrition to algebra.


We all have something to learn and something to teach. Let's get started!
