Benefits of Boarding
Boarding at Perkiomen School prepared me for college both academically and socially.
At Perkiomen I developed study skills, learned how to keep myself on task, and juggle multiple activities.
Socially, Perkiomen prepared me for residential life and living in a dorm.
I had a strong understanding of how to successfully live away from home and how to access resources when you need them.Halle Brown '17 | NASA Intern | Smith College '21 | Avionics Test Engineer, Astra Space
