A recognized leader in the education of children in need, Girard College has an unmatched 175-year history of providing a quality educational experience for economically disadvantaged children on its 43-acre campus in the heart of Philadelphia. In its mission statement, Girard College is described as a boarding school for academically capable students, grades 1 through 12, from families with limited financial resources, each headed by a single parent or guardian. But it is much more than that.
As long as Girard College has existed, all its students have received full scholarships, benefitted from strong academic and extracurricular programs and lived safely on an enclosed, 43-acre campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Today Girard is a college prep school with virtually 100% of its graduates going on to college or university. Girard has an unprecedented history of supporting those who are most in need of a quality educational experience, always mindful of our core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, compassion and self-discipline.
