Purnell School transforms the lives of young women
who thrive in a smaller, nurturing school.
For girls who think “out of the box” or learn differently, we are an empowering community of enrichment, leadership, and equity of educational opportunities.
We offer a student-centered academic program that provides experiences of success and builds girls’ personal agency to learn and lead.
At Purnell, we enable each girl to be herself —
to explore her interests, discover her strengths,
and find the confidence to succeed in the world beyond Purnell.

Watershed Management is a half-year elective course during which students learn what a watershed is, how they are affected by human activities, and what can be done to preserve them.
#MYPURNELL
We understand that students are as likely to discover a driving interest or passion outside the classroom as in it and tailor our program to meet the interests of our students. A host of traditions and celebrations also make the Purnell experience memorable.
A Truly Remarkable Location
Purnell is safely nestled away from the distractions of the city yet close enough to take advantage of the cultural attractions on weekends. The location is truly remarkable; close to the excitement and intellectual vibrancy of metropolitan areas yet removed enough to create a safe, reflective and inspirational atmosphere where girls thrive.
