School Notes

Purnell is a small girls boarding school that focuses on the success of every student. We take girls from a wide variety of backgrounds and help them find success and discover and what they are best at doing.
We accept students with mild learning disabilities, students who are talented in the performing arts and students who need a smaller environment to thrive in. Students are supported by our award-winning program, which is a four-year curriculum for developing student strengths. Average students can shine here where every student sits in the front row.
Purnell graduates have described Purnell as the single "best thing to ever happen to me." We are college preparatory, teach hands-on, innovative units and have a strong support system in place that allows all girls to feel integrated into the community and an important person in her own right. We are a traditional boarding school that serves a unique niche.
We have an exceptional performing and fine arts department and many graduates go on to professional careers in the arts.
We offer seven- and five-day boarding as well as day programs.
Purnell offers need-based financial aid; please call the Director of Admissions and Financial Aid to learn more. We provide financial aid to low, medium, and even upper middle level incomes so that the school can be affordable to all.
Purnell is located on 83 acres in rural, equestrian New Jersey. Safe, peacul yet close to the vibrancy of New York City and Philadelphia.
