HISTORY: THE MIQUON SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED IN 1932 BY TWO MOTHERS, DISILLUSIONED WITH THEIR OWN TRADITIONAL EDUCATION, WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION MODEL CAPTURED BETTER THE CURIOSITY, ABILITIES, AND POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH WITHIN EACH CHILD. FROM ITS 'ONE-ROOM' BEGINNINGS IN THE OLD FARMHOUSE THAT NOW SERVES AS THE OFFICE BUILDING, THE SCHOOL GREW STEADILY. HOWEVER MIQUON INTENTIONALLY REMAINS A SMALL SCHOOL WITH AN ENROLLMENT OF 140-150 STUDENTS, WHICH HELPS TO FOSTER THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS THAT PROMOTE EFFECTIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING. ENVIRONMENT: LOCATED ON A 10-ACRE CAMPUS IN A WOODED VALLEY JUST ABOVE THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER IN WHITEMARSH TOWNSHIP, MIQUON'S LAND AND ITS POPULAR CREEK HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE SINCE THE SCHOOL'S FOUNDING. WE TREASURE OUR UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT, AND AS PART OF A LESSON OR A SOURCE OF PLAYFUL REVELATION, NATURE WAVES ITS WAY INTO EVERY CHILD'S EXPERIENCE.
