Grier School Featured School: Grier School
Tyrone, PA
Grier School is a boarding school for girls in grades 7-12, and day school for girls in grades 5-12 located in beautiful Central Pennsylvania. Our 235 students enjoy a well-rounded education in academics, the arts and athletics. At Grier, girls become emboldened, engaged, and poised for the future. Lemuel Grier, the first in our founding family, conveyed this sentiment best: "Our aim is not to stuff the mind with undigested knowledge from the Text Book, but to train its powers, so that the student may be able to think for herself." Today, the tradition to develop students` critical thinking abilities-as well as the other 21st century skills-inspires both our pedagogy and curriculum, which offers classes ranging from college preparatory to Advanced Placement (AP) and in-depth scholarship through electives and advanced offerings. The standards of faculty and instructors are high, as are the levels of concern and support provided to ensure that students experience success.
