Who runs it?

How does it compare nearby?

What the record doesn’t say

  • Pennsylvania’s Department of Education lists every open private and nonpublic school in its EdNA directory, small ones included: Nonpublic, Non-Licensed Schools (mostly religious schools), Licensed, Private Academic Schools and Approved Private Schools (for special education).

From the school

The public record above comes first. Anything the school adds will appear here, below it, and say who wrote it.

Replies

None. Replies aren’t open yet. When they open, the school will be able to answer any finding for free, and the reply will show beside that finding, unedited and dated.

Paid listing

None. Paid listings aren’t open yet. When they open, anything paid for will say “Paid by the school”, and paying will never change a finding, a rating or the order of results.
