The Institutes at Perkiomen

In February, Perkiomen School announced the launch of its third institute, focusing on Artificial Intelligence. The Institute model of learning has allowed students to take a deep-dive into subjects and topics that they are passionate about, while developing distinct and creative competencies to prepare for the hybrid jobs of the future.

Perkiomen School students across all three institutes gather with Director of Strategic Innovation Shaun Yorgey ’97 and Associate Head of School Carol Dougherty to discuss the redesign of an Osprey Pack to accommodate a local seven-year-old girl. Perkiomen School was asked to tackle the project to assist this family in hiking the Appalachian Trail before their daughter’s degenerative disease will prevent the journey.
