The Grayson School

The Grayson School is a Pre-K through grade 12 independent school in Wayne, PA, designed for intellectually gifted students. As the only "all gifted, all day" school within a 100-mile radius, Grayson provides a research-based curriculum that allows students to learn at a pace and depth consistent with their advanced abilities while collaborating with intellectual peers. The school emphasizes academic rigor alongside social-emotional growth, creating an environment where gifted learners can explore their full potential.

The school supports students with learning differences through its Learning Difference Programs, recognizing that giftedness can co-occur with conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning disabilities. With 58 classroom teachers serving 164 students (57% of faculty hold advanced degrees), Grayson maintains small class sizes that support individualized instruction. The curriculum is complemented by extensive extracurricular offerings, including sports (archery, fencing, soccer, tennis, cross country, ultimate frisbee), robotics, drama, music ensembles, and clubs spanning STEM to community service.

Admission is rolling with no set deadline. Tuition averages $39,000 for Pre-K through grade 12, with full-day Pre-K at $27,500; 35% of students receive financial aid. The school is a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools and the National Association for the Gifted.
