Perkiomen School

Perkiomen School is a nonsectarian boarding and day school in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, serving students across middle school, high school, and post-graduate programs. Enrollment runs between 300 and 500 students — small enough that teachers build real relationships, large enough to support a full academic program. Pennsburg sits in Montgomery County, about 40 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

The boarding-day mix shapes how faculty work. Residential students need evening check-ins and weekend engagement. Day students arrive from towns across the region and keep a different schedule. Teachers here move between both worlds, which adds variety to the role and keeps the job from feeling routine.

Faculty positions at Perkiomen School often combine classroom teaching with coaching or advising. That kind of role suits candidates who want to be present in more than one part of a student's day. The school's post-graduate program also creates opportunities to work with older students preparing for college or gap-year transitions — a less common role type at schools this size.

The school reported revenue near $28 million in 2023, with net assets close to $31 million. Those figures point to a financially stable institution. Fundraising has grown steadily, which suggests active support from families and alumni. For candidates weighing job security and benefits, that stability matters.

Language programs include Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, Latin, and English as an Additional Language. That range reflects an international student body and opens opportunities for language teachers and EAL specialists specifically.
