Student Life

The Radnor ABC House opened its doors in 1972 after a local Wayne, Pennsylvania resident raised funds to buy and renovate a Victorian home conveniently located next to the Radnor Memorial Library on West Wayne Avenue. We are a co-educational program and can accommodate up to ten scholars. Under the nurturing care and mentoring of a Resident Director(s) and three Resident Tutors, our scholars live at the Radnor ABC House while attending Radnor High School during the academic school year.

Radnor High School is among the top public high schools in the country, voted 53rd best in the United States by The Best Schools, ranked 3rd in Pennsylvania by U.S. News and World Report and 1st in Delaware County by Niche.com. Radnor graduates are consistently accepted to the most competitive colleges in the country. Students are offered Advanced Placement coursework and exams in several areas of study. The AP participation rate at Radnor High School is 73 percent. 

Radnor High School is known for its exceptional curriculum, broad range of extracurricular activities and outstanding program of professional development for teachers and administrators. In 2015, the high school was renovated and is currently undergoing modernization of its athletic facilities. Each student is provided a device to ensure that Radnor students have the best technology to meet their needs.

Radnor High School is fortunate to welcome all backgrounds through its doors every day. The vibrant mix of students requires the adults near them to continually learn and employ strategies to meet each student where they are. The staff are purposeful in working to unlock the potential in love of learning for all students. The high school’s diversity, equity and inclusion initiative is providing an environment and school culture which is conducive to learning and which prioritizes student safety and respect. Diversity is valued and celebrated through programs, activities and curriculum.
