Boarding schools in Pennsylvania are expected to offer safety, education, and stability. However, for some students, these institutions became places where trusted adults committed acts of sexual abuse. Survivors of boarding school sexual abuse often endure lifelong emotional and psychological trauma, but the civil justice system offers a path toward accountability and healing.
Our Pennsylvania boarding school sexual abuse attorneys represent individuals who were abused by teachers, staff, administrators, or other students. We help survivors bring civil claims against the individuals and institutions that allowed abuse to occur unchecked.
When You May Have Grounds for a Civil Lawsuit Against a Boarding School:
You may be eligible to file a civil claim if:
You were abused by a faculty member, staff, or dorm supervisor
The school failed to act on reports or signs of abuse
Administrators attempted to cover up misconduct
Proper screening, hiring, and supervision policies were not followed

Even if your abuse happened years ago, Pennsylvania has provisions that may still allow you to seek legal justice.
