What Students Are Saying
Bryn Athyn is a small school, with a spiritual basis. The school is attempting to expand through athletics, but is still trying to retain their core values. The school is part of a very tight knit community
Andrew from Exton, PA
Bryn Athyn College is a small, liberal arts institution that provides a strong academic education whilst incorporating the ideals of Emanuel Swedenborg. The faculty is superlative--willing to develop relationships with their students and provide aid at a moments notice. Ample opportunity is afforded too all, enabling every students' ability to chose their destiny.
