| Description: | Founded in 1909 by chocolate industrialist Milton S. Hershey and his wife Catherine, Milton Hershey School offers a residential experience (pre-K through 12) in a wholesome environment, provides a quality education, and a wealth of enriching and exciting opportunities that lead to the social, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development of a child. |
| Director Name: | Danny Warner, Director of Admission |
| Enroll Info: | Children from families with low income, but in order to be eligible, your child must meet certain requirements. |
| Student Profile: | Families of low income and social need who have children from the ages of 4 through 15 are encouraged to apply for enrollment consideration. |
| Academics: | The strong, comprehensive educational program at Milton Hershey School (MHS) emphasizes applied and hand-on learning within a supportive, secure, and healthy family surrounding. Students at all levels benefit from the attention and support they receive in small classes averaging 15 students. In these settings, the strong relationships forged between teachers and students strengthen the learning experience. At MHS, we believe all students can achieve at high levels. |

| Counseling: | Psychological Services seeks to help students gain a realistic understanding and appreciation of their many intellectual, social, emotional, and physical strengths in order to achieve happiness and success. A comprehensive array of services is available, including individual and group therapy, evaluation, counseling, medication management, and crisis intervention. |
| Campus: | Students live in family-like homes, each of which is overseen by a married couple serving as houseparents. More than just caretakers, houseparents take an active, nurturing interest in your child’s development and well-being. They have the responsibility to make many of the decisions that most closely influence students’ day-to-day lives and serve as the primary contact for the children in their care, in partnership with a natural parent or guardian. |
| Family Involvement: | The School believes that a child's relationship with a parent or sponsor is vitally important to his or her success. Along with the houseparents, parents or sponsors provide support in addressing their child's needs and helping them meet physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual goals. |
