The Philadelphia Inquirer reports today that Penn and Drexel are in talks to run two small high schools within the Philadelphia School District.

The two schools would be in the University City area, one focusing on international studies and the other on engineering and technology. The schools could open as early as September, 2009.

The collaboration would be the first in Philly, but similar joint-efforts have taken root around the country.

No word on why Temple is not involve or when we will get to run our own high school.
