About Milton Hershey School

Our curriculum includes rigorous academics with opportunities for hands-on learning, after-school homework hours and tutoring assistance. Because our class sizes are small, students get individualized attention and the opportunity to explore their own interests and abilities.

We believe all children deserve the very best education regardless of their financial circumstances. A family’s income should not determine a child’s outcome.
