Campus Life

Perkiomen school’s history of providing an exceptional boarding school experience is long and proud. Our commitment to boarders remains strong and the majority of students reside on campus. Day students actively participate in evening study groups and weekend social activities. Students reside in five dormitories. Boys’ are housed in Kriebel Hall and Schulz Hall. Girls’ live in Duyckinck Hall, Fritz Cottage, and Ruhl Hall. All dormitory rooms are doubles and have two data jacks and two phone land lines.  Faculty members live in and supervise the dormitories.  All members of the school community dine in Parents Hall, which has a large open dining room. Breakfast, lunch, and weekend meals are buffet style and offer lots of choices. Weeknight dinner is family style and tables are headed by a faculty member. This meal offers two entrée choices, one of which is vegetarian. Sodexho, the worlds largest dining provider, operates the food service.  The students and staff rate our food service with superior marks.

On-campus life is highlighted by theater, dance and musical performances, as well as athletic events, Student Senate  social activities (movies and games), and multicultural club activities. Home basketball games pack the gym with students cheering for Perk and the annual talent show, evening of scenes, and battle of the bands highlight students’ talents. Students travel off campus every weekend both locally, and to Philadelphia and New York City, for trips to the movies, malls, restaurants, museums, and sight seeing.
