Read what parents are saying about Media-Providence Friends SchoolThe school has been in decline for many years and the population above kindergarten has continued to go down. Unsustainable.
Posted by a parent on 12/8/2023The perfect school. Our child has grown more than we could have imagined in their short time at MPFS so far. Amazing school.
Posted by a parent on 4/28/2023My children attended MPFS and had wonderful experiences learning how to grow their perspectives as global citizens, practice and have hard conversations about difference, create space for their own voices and be able to advocate for themselves... knowing in real time what they need to be successful.
Posted by a parent on 6/11/2020Overall the experience is good. However, as a Quaker school who touts “teaching to the light “ in each child, there are prevailing challenges with regard to diversity,, belonging, and equity. Additionally, the school charges tuition but lacks the resources to go from good to great. The student body is diverse but the faculty membership is predominantly white female. They have said that the numbers reflect the larger industry numbers but they ignore the fact that they struggle to keep faculty and families of color due to lack of support and lack of inclusive and equitable school culture. The current Head of School also seems to be more concerned about his image, his authority, and discipline as opposed to community and inclusion. He is not collaborative in his lead style and does not place the student voice nor faculty voice at the center. He also does not welcome constructive feedback.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you are looking to send your kids here, keep looking. They can’t keep the school open. They blame Covid but it’s because they don’t have enough teachers and staff. Other schools in the area have not closed. They are also mask crazy. Horrible leadership!Parent Review2y ago - The School In Rose Valley

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHaving my kids attend SRV was by far one of the greatest decisions my husband and I could have ever made. They take such great care to treat each child as an individual and encouraged them to be themselves. They are taught how to respect themselves and others and be leaders amongst their peers and in their communities. They receive, not only an amazing STEAM education, but also the life and social emotional skills needed to succeed in everyday life. Everyone knows everyone and the teachers and staff all genuinely care for each student and want to help them excel. My daughter wakes up each day excited to go to school and can’t wait to share all that she had learned each evening when she returns home. SRV is a great school that I whole heartedly recommend!Parent Review1y ago - The Walden School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter has really thrived at Walden. For two years, she's been learning and growing socially, emotionally, and academically, and we credit the school and her wonderful teachers for nurturing her development in all of these areas. Walden is a warm and vibrant place. Can't recommend it more strongly!Parent Review1mo ago - Kehillah Early Learning Center
