The mission of The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf is to provide students who are deaf or hard of hearing with meaningful and engaging academic, social, cultural and personal experiences which will enhance their educational development and prepare them for life-long participation in society.  Programs are developed in partnership with families and diverse communities and provide the basis for academic achievement, literacy, technological competence, the ability to think critically and creatively and a strong sense of positive self identity  We believe that students, given an early, language rich and fully accessible communication environment and challenged by high expectations, can develop the academic, cognitive, social and personal skills and attributes necessary to function as self-fulfilled, independent individuals who are prepared for adult life in the communities of their choice.
