A diverse and interdisciplinary curriculum, differentiated teaching practices, and real-world experiences define learning for students today.
2) Skills, Not Content
Creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, communication, multicultural literacy, and global awareness are valued over memorization. Our students are learning how to learn and how to be good citizens.
3) 24/7 Access to Technology
There are no limits to when and where learning happens. With a laptop for everyone, technology is a powerful and ubiquitous learning tool.
4) Rigor & Support
Shipley teachers demand excellence. Their relationships with students help build the confidence young people need to take on new challenges and meet high expectations, and the resilience to overcome adversity.
5) Character & Wellbeing
We’re redefining success at Shipley, and we’re helping students take care of themselves in the process. Positive Education practices and our Social, Emotional, and Ethical Development (SEED) program provide the framework.
The Shipley School is a private, coeducational day school for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade students, located in Bryn Mawr, PA. Through our commitment to educational excellence, we develop within each student a love of learning and a desire for compassionate participation in the world.
