The School at Church Farm provides a Christian education for young men grades 7 through 12. Founded in 1918 and stressing the value of work and responsibility, the original school was a working farm. The 350-acre campus is within driving distance of Philadelphia, while still being far enough from an urban center to be quite rural.
