2. Complete the online application form.
3. Once we receive your application, you will receive an email offering or denying your application into our program.
Complete the Enrollment Packet: If an offer to enroll is extended to your family, please complete the enrollment packet in Brightwheel, link your financial information, and submit your enrollment deposit (which is applied to your tuition account) to secure your seat.
Congratulations – you’re now a member of the Friends School Haverford community! We have limited funds for financial aid, however if you qualify for our need-based financial aid and your child has a full-time schedule, please create an account through the Clarity Application (see financial aid guidance for more information on this process).

Admissions Timeline

We encourage families to visit our campus before applying whenever possible. If you cannot visit before the December application deadline, you’re welcome to schedule a private tour or attend an Open House in the spring.

Rolling Admissions - Point of Entry

At Friends School Haverford, we designate specific points of entry for new students to maintain stability and cohesion in our classrooms. We welcome new students in the Fall and Winter when space is available. New families enrolling for the following school year are encouraged to take advantage of our Summer Programming as well!
