Fairless Junction

This is a top school in the area!

I had a wonderful experience with Newtown Friends School for all ten years that my child attended the school. She began in Pre-K, graduated from NFS, and went on to attend George School. At every turn, I found the staff to be caring, competent, attentive, and filled with a true sense of responsibility to educate the WHOLE child. I loved the Quaker values. I am not a Quaker myself, but I felt the Quaker values were universal. We are in an area of great public schools for academics, but I wanted more than that for my child. I appreciated the celebration of diversity and inclusion. Kids will be kids; however, my child did not experience any significant teasing or unkindness from her peers. The small school allowed her to be truly known by her teachers. It is not unusual for every adult in the building to know a child's name. She went on amazing field trips every year at no additional cost. Beginning in 5th grade, they take overnight trips to environmental education centers. My child had a blast, and it fostered tremendous independence. Especially if they stay for many years. My daughter left NFS WELL-prepared for high school. She started 9th grade in honors, high-level, and AP classes and did extremely well. NFS has some learning support, with dedicated staff trained in Special Education, but it is true that they cannot meet the needs of children who require a high level of services. I wholeheartedly recommend the amazing education that NFS has to offer.

We love our school! Holy family is a welcoming community that we are happy to be a part of! The teachers we have encounter this far are hands down amazing! We love everything about our school. From the first moment we asked for a preschool tour to today, we feel like we found a home away from home! Classrooms are bright and welcoming! Teachers are friendly!
