When I first stepped onto Archmere's campus, it felt like a perfect fit. The student body, the faculty, the facilities, and the academic opportunities are why I chose Archmere. I live in South Jersey, and Archmere is just a quick drive over the bridge! I'm thankful every day for the opportunity to learn and experience high school at Archmere.
