What Families Are Saying About Our School…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Friends School Haverford has made my child feel like part of a community since we first set foot on the campus. The early childhood programs encouraged his growth and exploration, while also providing thoughtful support as he navigated the experience of attending school for the first time. The growth that I’ve seen since those first days at FSH has been immeasurable. I am so thankful that my child has had the opportunity to learn and grow at this special school.” – Wendy Lias
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“It is a school that values each child and enriches them academically, spiritually, emotionally and physically. It is a place that teaches how to be a good friend!” – Kate Silber DeRiel
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“We have seen such a significant blossoming effect with our son since being a part of Forest Edge class at Friends School Haverford. We know it is deeply influenced by the intentional ways the teachers validate feelings, model kindness and respect, encourage resiliency and flexibility, and celebrate individuality.
Every day, our son looks forward to going to school and spending the day with his teachers and all his friends. As a parent, it is the most wonderful thing to witness — seeing how happy he is to go to school and seeing his amazing growth as a result of these phenomenal teachers.
Lastly, both teachers have been extremely kind to our family. The teachers have always attended to our experience (as parents) and made time to talk to us — both to validate and allay our worries. Friends School Haverford is a phenomenal educational experience and community!” – Patricia Flaherty Fischette
