Please write a short reflection on your time at Shipley and what it has meant to you.
Shipley has been the site of some of my most important and self-realizing years. I can confidently say I would have turned out different (and probably worse) had I been somewhere else.
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.
