The Shipley School in Bryn Mawr is celebrates over 30 years of coeducation
this year with an equal ratio of boys to girls in grades Pre-K through 12.

Why does coeducation work for Shipley? "Our teachers understand that every
student is an individual," said Head of School Steven S. Piltch, "an
individual who brings different particular strengths to the school. They
strategize about the best methods to reach all of their students so that
everyone has the chance to thrive."

Sense of community and a nurturing environment are other key reasons for
Shipley's success ...
