History
Purnell School transforms the lives of young women who thrive in a smaller, nurturing school and those with learning differences. For girls who learn differently, think “out of the box,” or have attention or executive functioning challenges, we are a haven of enrichment and equity of educational opportunities. For girls with school and/or home-based learning challenges who flourish in a small learning environment, we offer a student-centered academic program that provides experiences of success and builds girls’ confidence. Here, we enable each girl to be herself — to explore her passions, discover her strengths, and find the confidence to succeed in the world beyond Purnell.
