Here, the question of how students learn best is a preoccupation. Over the years, the school's curriculum has evolved, responding to and anticipating the changing demands of the world beyond Mercersburg. The results have been extraordinary.
Most teachers also live on campus.
They and their families are a visible presence in the dormitories, in the dining hall, and on the playing fields. Their involvement gives a learning dimension to every part of campus life and challenges students to persevere on every front. Mercersburg seeks its teachers in a variety of places and from a variety of backgrounds in the belief that strength is added by that very diversity. The School then nurtures the faculty and encourages its members to grow through ongoing programs of assessment and support for personal and professional growth and development. The result is an uncommonly strong group of individuals who share a common mission.
