About the Series
Public Programs and Events @ The Farm nurtures curiosity and catalyzes conversation for people of all backgrounds, while fostering community with visitors and neighbors. Each year we invite authors, artists, musicians, politicians, business leaders, historians, and intellectuals to Church Farm School's Chester County campus. The series not only curates opportunities for dialogue between the boys and the broader community right in our backyard, but also shapes the world into which we will send this next generation of diverse leaders.

Church Farm School awards nearly $7M in student scholarships and tuition assistance every year. Proceeds from Public Program and Events @ The Farm support this commitment to educational access.
Become a Sponsor
