Location:
Located in south-central Pennsylvania, Mercersburg is approximately 90 miles from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Md., close enough to enjoy these exciting urban centers, yet situated to fully enjoy all that the Cumberland and Potomac valleys, and the Applachain and Tuscarora Mountains have to offer. The Mercersburg Inn, the nearby Whitetail Golf/Ski Resort, and other attractions draw visitors from all over the US and the world.
Background:
Mercersburg prepares young men and women from diverse backgrounds for college and for life in a global community. The talented faculty instill in students the value of hard work and the importance of character and community as they teach students to think for themselves, to approach life thoughtfully and creatively, to thrive physically, to act morally, to value the spiritual dimension of human existence, and to serve others.
