Perkiomen School

Inspiring students to risk becoming their best since 1875Perkiomen School is an independent, college preparatory, co-ed, boarding and day school for grades 6-12, PG, located in Pennsburg, PA. Perkiomen School’s rigorous academic program is implemented through an innovative educational model combining the best of traditional education with practical skills to thrive in a global community. We inspire our students to risk becoming their best, while providing the support of dedicated faculty, unique experiences, and access to advanced technology, both in and out of the classroom. With the freedom to explore their personal identities and interests, Perkiomen students develop the character, intellect, and courage needed to make their individual goals a reality. Perkiomen School is moving forward, leading and challenging our students to build competency and confidence. More than ever, today’s students need to be lifelong learners with strong core skills like adaptability, creativity, and the ability to recognize opportunities. Perkiomen students are inspired to learn and practice these skills within the Artificial Intelligence, Entrepreneur and Medical Institutes. But results materialize only when theory meets application. Without the space to brainstorm, to build, to design, to boldly fail and try again – these skills are just theoretical. Our on-campus Innovation Center and off-site experience partners provide the spaces and places for student discovery. The institutes are an evolution of fulfilling our school mission – to inspire students to risk becoming their best – and a launch point to apply their knowledge to both solve problems and add value in today’s changing world.
