The Beauty is in the Brushstrokes
“Art has always been more of a hobby, which I think is a blessing. Like anything, it is all about the amount of time you put into it. It’s exciting to be in competitions and to be entering this program, but art is really just something I enjoy doing. I want to keep it that way.”Lindsay and Kate McConnel '23 on self-discovery, the creative process, and the joy of artistic exploration at Tatnall.

My daughter has attended Tatnall since Kindergarten and is currently in Middle School. Our family has enjoyed watching her grow and experience the private school life. The teachers are compassionate and work closely with each child. She has made friends and is a school ambassador, she learns and explores new opportunities such as sports and music. We are very pleased with our choice to be at the Tatnall School.
