About

Since 1875, Perkiomen School in Pennsburg, PA has been empowering its students to risk becoming their best. Perkiomen’s college prep curriculum, which includes 25+ AP® courses, competitive athletic teams, a broad fine and performing arts department, and project-based learning, provides individualized experiences. The Institutes at Perkiomen School allow students to rigorously apply a liberal arts education and guide students to interact with and apply the knowledge and skills they learn in Artificial Intelligence, Entrepreneurship, Design and Medicine.

What is your teaching or educational philosophy?

At Perkiomen, we know that experience is the best teacher, and that the challenges of life can only be solved by digging in, taking part, and pushing through. Our students learn to take calculated risks and to create value wherever they go. Our close knit, caring, accomplished faculty create a highly participatory learning environment that encourages students to be courageous. Equally impactful is our culture of gratitude and joy. We are all teachers and learners, celebrating differences and supporting each other’s well-being, through everyday tasks and in defining moments. In this boarding and day environment, we all feel welcomed. Faculty

and students engage and develop meaningful mentorships. And, students find lasting friendships in our globally diverse community. What we learn today must prepare our students for tomorrow.

With a strong liberal arts foundation and future-focused innovative education, we prepare our students for college and the challenges of a new economy.

What is your mission statement?

The Perkiomen community inspires students to risk becoming their best.
