Welcome to Perkins!

We are happy you are interested in the Perkins School because we are proud of this place! If you visit Perkins during the school day, the first thing you will notice is smiling and engaged children. Our students are full of joy. They adore their teachers and are deeply invested in all elements of their school life. It also helps that we have a school dog!

At Perkins, we embrace the beauty of childhood. We hope you will attend an Open House and join us for a Campus Tour to observe classes in session.  Walk our halls, notice a clear sense of teacher, student, and parent ownership, a warm and welcoming community, and a genuine excitement about teaching and learning.

Our graduates develop a diversity of skills but also so much more.  They leave us even more excited to explore and analyze the complexities of the world, with a deep understanding and appreciation of a diversity of people and ideas. They are full of confidence, joy, and potential - and we couldn't be more proud of them.  

In short, when a school is doing it right, students love coming to school. 

Our kids do.

We like this place a lot.

Sincerely,

Barry Wright Head of School
