Tatnall School
Our Mission
“Tatnall is not just a school. It’s a way of life.” – Frances D.S. Tatnall
Within this context, our mission is to provide our students with an excellent college preparatory education in a family atmosphere. At Tatnall, a caring faculty creates an environment which nurtures curiosity and encourages students to grow in maturity and self-esteem. In their concern for the total individual, our faculty recognizes and respects each student’s unique intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual needs and gifts. A Tatnall graduate is prepared to succeed as a college or university student and to assume the important role of a responsible member of society in all its diversity.
Our Promise

We provide a strong, balanced foundation with exceptional academics, outstanding athletics, unparalleled arts, and authentic relationships. We develop minds, build character, and create community – one student at a time.
