Caring staff, wonderful campus, and a vibrant community. Our boys have thrived at Perk and we're so glad we made the decision to send them to this school. Whether your child requires some learning support or they're ready for a full schedule of challenging AP classses, the Perk staff is adept at delivering a quality education to the individual. It's not one size fit all. There's also a nice selection of sport and arts.

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...
