AT THE PREP, WE HAVE PLENTY OF VERY BRIGHT STUDENTS. BUT IT’S THEIR PARENTS WHO MAY KNOW THE MOST.

We prepare leaders and leapers, shakers and makers, and every kind of winner imaginable, so when it comes time for college, our grads are more than ready.

“There are higher expectations for you here.

Here, you are being trained to be leaders.

People know that. The moment I mention I’m a Prep grad, the conversation changes.”

—Former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter ‘75 in a speech to Prep students April 9, 2015

SALUTING OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER

Did you know that Act II Playhouse supports local nonprofits throughout our season? Our community partner for Electile Dysfunction is the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association.

A portion of all ticket sales for the Sept. 22 performance of Electile Dysfunction will be donated to the WVWA. Since 1957 the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association (WVWA) has been protecting land, water and life in the Wissahickon Watershed. Today, there are nearly 1,300 acres of protected land on 12 Preserves and 21 miles of natural wooded trails available to the public for year-round enjoyment. The Green Ribbon Trail is a passive recreational trail that begins in Upper Gwynedd and connects with Forbidden Drive in Fairmount Park.

WVWA practices cutting edge techniques in conservation including bird banding, wetland restoration, monthly water quality monitoring, deer exclosures, planting native plants, and scientific inventories. Last year, 2,300 local students participated in WVWA’s education program, where they learned about water quality, the environment and history. Each year, approximately 500 volunteers pitch in almost 8,000 hours to help land, water, events and administration. For more information and to become a member, email info@wvwa.org, call 215-646-8866, visit us online at wvwa.org or stop by our headquarters at 12 Morris Rd., Ambler, PA.
