PSD is located on a beautiful historic campus in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Many of its buildings date back to the 1760’s, and have been meticulously preserved to maintain their history and character. Our Early Childhood Center is located in a separate building from the main campus, with a playground and enrichment areas specifically designed for very young students to explore, learn, and grow. In addition to our core programs, PSD’s growing Outreach Services department provides high-quality services for Deaf and hard of hearing students in other schools across the region.
