About the Company
Overview
Milton Hershey School is a cost-free, private, coeducational residential school founded in 1909 by Milton S. Hershey and his wife, Catherine. The school serves over 2,200 students annually from low-income families, providing both housing and education. It emphasizes a holistic approach to education, focusing on the overall development of children rather than just academics.
The school offers a stable home life, a rigorous academic curriculum, agricultural and vocational training, and non-sectarian Christian religious instruction. In 2020, it expanded its mission by establishing the Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning, which focuses on early childhood education. Originally limited to orphaned boys, the school has broadened its admission criteria over the years to include children from various backgrounds, integrating racially in 1968 and admitting girls in 1977. The school is funded by an endowment established by Milton Hershey, ensuring it can provide tuition-free education and housing.
