This church. founded upon the teachings of the Silesian scholar and preacher. Caspar Schwenkfeld von Ossig. a contemporary of Martin Luther and John Calvin. is congregational in its policy and ecumenical in its ecclesiastical organization. The original forebears of the present church. who were part of the great tide of persons who sought religious refuge in the New World. emigrated from Europe to eastern Pennsylvania in 1734. Their descendants continue to work and live in the Reformation tradition of high regard for intellectual discipline and the belief in individual moral and spiritual responsibility. The Perkiomen School. while upholding the highest ideals of this tradition. also provides its young men with a solid foundation in college preparatory workas evidenced by the fact that virtually all of its 70 graduates this year are already enrolled in colleges and universities throughout the United States.
