The quality of our program is demonstrated by the achievements of our students and graduates. The National Merit Scholarship Program recognized more than 22 percent of the Classes of 1998 and 1999. Shipley students SAT scores continually rank in the top four among independent schools in the Philadelphia area. Compassionate Participation Shipley believes that a well-educated person must be ethical and humane as well as knowledgeable. A Shipley education balances individual achievement with concern for others.
Community service is included in the curriculum from the earliest grades.
A Balanced Life Shipley is concerned with the education of each student as an individual. An integrated program of academics, athletics, arts, and other activities helps students to find a healthy balance between work and play. Our students take their schoolwork seriously, are intellectually curious, seek creative challenges, are supportive of one another, and serve their community as leaders, workers, and volunteers. The Faculty Shipley teachers are dedicated, knowledgeable, and skilled at presenting their material in clear and meaningful ways. They understand the needs of each individual child and strive to bring out the best in each one.
