Founded in 1820, The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (PSD) is the third oldest school of its kind in the United States. Since 1984, PSD has been located in the historic Germantown section of Philadelphia and presently serves 200 students aged 3 to 21 in preschool through high school classes. Also operating on the school's campus is a resource and service center for deaf and hard of hearing adults called the Center for Community and Professional Services (CCPS). The Center provides a wide array of deafness related services to both hearing and deaf people of all ages.

As one of four private, state-chartered schools , PSD is reimbursed for most of its operating expenses by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and eligible youngsters attend tuition-free. However, the school also depends on charitable contributions to support capital improvements as well as to fund various special instructional programs.
