Shipley School
The Shipley School is an independent pre-K–12 college preparatory school in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, United States, approximately 10 miles west-northwest of Philadelphia.[6] The Shipley sisters were strong-willed, highly educated Quaker women who created the school to pass on their values to similarly minded young women.[6] At this time, about half of all Upper School students were boarders hailing from all over the country and from Europe, Asia, Russia, the Middle East, and Latin America.[6] During the 1970s and 1980s, Shipley discontinued its boarding department and began to admit male students.[6] The last boarders graduated in 1982, and by 1984 the school was fully coeducational with equal numbers of girls and boys.
