It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia.Its historic school building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1924-1925. It is a four-story, nine bay, brick building on a raised basement in the Art Deco-style. The entrance portico features Doric order columns, and at the roofline is a brick parapet. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.HistoryThe School District of Philadelphia ended summer school, except for students who need to earn credits to receive high school diplomas, in 2012 due to budget cuts. As a result, Nebinger principal Ralph Burnley and Leslie Patterson-Tyler, the wife of the reverend of the Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church, established their own summer school program serving students from Nebinger and other area schools. It was financed by members of the church and the Queen Village Neighborhood Association.DemographicsIn 2012 85% of Nebinger's student body was considered economically disadvantaged. That year Kristen A. Graham of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that compared to the William M. Meredith School in Queen Village and the George A. McCall School in Society Hill, Nebinger "struggles more".

Established by West Philadelphia High School teacher Rebecca Segal, it admitted students who perform at average levels and provided extra mathematics and English courses, required attendance of cultural events, used the same teachers all four years, and made parents sign contracts asking them to involve themselves in the education of their children. That year the district decided to move the program to South Philadelphia High School in order to use more space at the underutilized high school campus and to relieve overcrowding at South Philadelphia elementary schools. The third floor of Southwark would be used for grade 6-8 students who were attending Francis Scott Key School, and there would be space freed for a full-day kindergarten program. Several students and parents of Southwark Motivation criticized the plan.

The Swedish Colonial Society was the vision of the historian Dr. Amandus Johnson. At the time of its founding, few descendants of the early Swedish and Finnish immigrants in America knew much about their ancestors or about New Sweden, their settlement on the Delaware River. The Society set out to change this by recording the history of the colony. SCS has published 13 books about the history of New Sweden, and twice-yearly publishes Swedish Colonial News, a journal detailing the family history of the settlement and recent discoveries in the area. Our historical archives are stored at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, and are readily available for viewing. In addition to research, historic preservation has been a priority for the Society. We have worked to conserve the Morton Homestead, valued for its ties to John Morton, an American of Finnish descent who served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and later signed the Declaration of Independence. Among other projects, SCS also coordinated an effort to have Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church recognized as a National Historic Landmark, a designation that it achieved, being the first American religious building to do so. The Swedish Colonial Society is unique in the U.S. due to its relationship to the Swedish Royal Family and the Swedish government. As the first High Patron of the Society, King Gustav V served as honorary leader, establishing a tradition that continues today with King Carl XVI Gustaf. Crown Princess Victoria has accepted Deputy High Patron status and Sweden's Ambassador to the United States, Jonas Hafström, has accepted the honorary Patron position. New members are always welcome. Membership is open to everyone, without regard to nationality or ancestry.
