Founded in 1820, The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf is the third oldest school of its kind in the United States.

Also operating on the school's campus is a resource and service center for deaf and hard of hearing adults called the Center for Community and Professional Services.
The Center provides deafness related services to both hearing and deaf people of all ages.
