TESD Acquires West Swedesford Road Property For New Elementary School

TREDYFFRIN-EASTTOWN, PA — The Tredyffrin/Easttown School District this week officially acquired a West Swedesford Road property as it plans to construct a sixth elementary school to address increasing enrollment.

This new school is expected to be open in Fall 2027 at 1200 West Swedesford Road in Berwyn, the district said.

According to the district, its staff will work with the board and community in preparing to open the new school.

Throughout the public presentation process, many questions about staffing, financing, bus routes, schedules, redistricting, and more have arisen.

The district said detailed information and timelines about these questions will be shared during upcoming public meetings.

"The decision to move forward with a sixth elementary school results from TESD’s commitment to providing the best possible educational experience for all District students and families," Superintendent Dr. Richard Gusick said. "Once the school building is open, we will have the space to provide full-day kindergarten, accommodate our high elementary student enrollment, and address expanding programming needs for all students. By adapting an existing building to an elementary school, the District is also promoting sustainability within our community.

"None of this would be possible without the ongoing generosity of the community and its enduring commitment to TESD families," he said. "Thank you for your continued engagement and partnership as we embark on this generational journey together as a school community."
