This school has little to no supervision of middle school children on their college like campus and I am personally aware of several inappropriate relationships that have occured among the middle school and high school children. Please check the qualifications of the teachers as many of them are not certified in the area they are teaching, if at all. The science department is substandard. There is no academic challenge for above average students and in fact, they will be set back by the quality of the academics at the school. They look good on the surface but you must check deeper because, this school was a very negative academic and social experience for my child. I believe that the good reviews have been written by staff members whose children attend the school. I regret sending my child here.
My child has been at the school since the sixth grade and has entered upper school. With teachers who are trained in their academic fields and come from top colleges and universities, I am veyr pleased with all that the school offers academically. I am also very happy with the wide variety of athletics and arts offerings. The diversity of the student body is impressive, with international students and Americans from every walk of life. We are lucky to be a part of this close-knit and family friendly community.
My 9th grader has been at Perk since 5th grade. Perk offers an enriching curiculum and a wide variety of activities with a very low student to teacher ratio. The multicultural environment is enhanced by the beautiful campus which reminds one more of a college atmosphere than a high school one.
Perkiomen school has an excellent academic program which prepares the students well for college. The fine arts program is outstanding and really nurtures the students creativity and embraces each students gift. The school staff is kind and caring and are well liked and respected by the students. The campus is beautiful, there are many clubs, organizations and teams for the students to participate in and there are many recreational acativities outside of school to bring the students together. My kids could not be happier, or more well adjusted since entering the Perkiomen school.
I have an 11th grader that has attended Perkiomen since the 9th grade. I an veri impressed with the quality of education that my son is recieving. I love the teaching staff at Perkiomen. I feel my son will be very prepared for college. I am so happy with this school that I will be sending my other son to Perkiomen next year. They really make a diffence with the children. My son is very happy with his choice in this boarding school an looks forward to returning when break is over.
I attended Perkiomen School and received a very high quality education. I was prepared for college and the beyond. The school has a good number of international students that attend and adds to its diversity. I love Perkiomen School and will send my children there.
Perkiomen School has a strong academic program that prepares a student for college. Leadership and integrity are other qualities. The sports program is good. The students are friendly and clean cut. The environment is safe and nurturing.
