Immaculate Conception B.V.M. School, founded in 1895, is located in Jenkintown, PA.  As a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, our mission is to form Catholic students to be full and practicing members of the Church, to be a center of evangelization that calls all to live fully the message of Jesus Christ, and to be a center of academic excellence that rigorously prepares students to be contributing members of the global community.

            In an atmosphere of respect and acceptance, faculty and staff use age-appropriate strategies and techniques to enable students to experience a variety of concepts while being introduced to the fundamental skills in a logical and concrete way. Both the didactic and constructivist theories are evident in moving students toward a higher level of cognitive development.              

            Though content aware, we are process oriented to motivate our children to acquire and use skills needed to be independent learners, critical thinkers, and creative problem solvers. A cooperative, supportive, Christian family atmosphere promotes moral, pro-social behavior which enables each child to live life to the fullest in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
