School Overview

Tinicum School sits in the small riverfront community of Essington, one of Delaware County's quieter, more historic pockets just south of Philadelphia along the Delaware River. The school shows particular strength in science, which makes sense given its proximity to the water and the natural environment that surrounds this tight-knit neighborhood. Families who value a smaller community feel with easy access to the city, and who appreciate a school where kids can genuinely shine in STEM subjects, will find Tinicum a solid fit within the Interboro district.
