I am entering my third year at Perkiomen as a rising junior. I can confidently say that my experience here is unlike any other school I have been to. The teachers, faculty, and staff consistently show up for the students. I have been to one other private school and two public schools previously. At Perkiomen, I have been offered experiences that you cannot find anywhere besides a college campus.

I loved the diversity of the school, as it contained students from a plethora of different countries. I did not enjoy the teachers. They inadequately prepared us for the exams and failed to do a thorough job.

I enrolled at Perkiomen School for one year as a post graduate student. My experience at Perkiomen School was great. I am came from a public school in my hometown of Philadelphia. The athletic and academic experience was totally different from the previous high school I attended. Teachers and coaches at Perkiomen School pushed me to be the best in the classroom and on the field of play. I am glad that I was able go to Perkiomen School. It better prepared me for college.

The school is warm and welcoming. They know the meaning of community. When I asked the students what they appreciated most, many if them quickly spoke of the school's diversity. They enjoy making connections with kids around the US and around the world.

What a fantastic year this has been for our child who is in the second year at Perk Middle School. We could not be happier with the program, people, and opportunities. Reading some of the negative comments here, we were a bit worried, but experiencing the school ourselves has told us that those nega...
