Boarding schools are expected to provide structured, nurturing environments where young students can learn and grow. Unfortunately, for some students in Pennsylvania, these institutions became the setting for devastating sexual abuse committed by trusted faculty, staff, or older students. Survivors deserve justice—and the opportunity to hold both the abuser and the institution accountable.
Our Pennsylvania boarding school sexual abuse lawyers are dedicated to representing survivors who suffered abuse in residential, private, and faith-based educational settings. We help survivors file civil lawsuits to seek compensation and expose institutional negligence that allowed abuse to happen.
When a Boarding School Can Be Held Liable:
You may have grounds for a civil lawsuit if:
A staff member, faculty member, or administrator committed sexual abuse
The school failed to properly investigate or report abuse allegations
Administrators moved abusers rather than removing them
Proper supervision and safety protocols were lacking
Complaints were ignored or actively covered up
Even if the abuse occurred years ago, Pennsylvania law may still allow survivors to pursue justice through a civil claim.
Potential Compensation for Survivors Includes:
Psychological counseling and therapy costs
Medical expenses related to trauma care
Emotional pain, suffering, and long-term psychological harm
Educational or professional losses
Punitive damages for egregious institutional misconduct
Our legal team approaches each case with compassion, confidentiality, and a commitment to pursuing full justice for our clients.
