Comments: Girard College owes its existence to the munificence and vision of Stephen Girard (1750 - 1831). He chose to educate the children from poor families with no fathers. To this day Girard students pay nothing for their education. The current value of that education is approximately $37,000.
The school admits children from 1st grade through 10th grade. All children board at least five days a week. Girard students matriculate to a wide range of fine colleges and universities nationwide.
