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.
