Discover the Quaker Values at Friends School Haverford

At Friends School Haverford, we embrace the principles of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and welcome students and families of all traditions. Since 1885, we’ve been dedicated to providing a nurturing, values-driven education that encourages the growth of each child’s mind and spirit.

Our Core Quaker Values Include:
Community: A close-knit environment where teachers, students, and parents support one another.
Integrity: We teach respect, honesty, and pride in one’s work and self.
Equality: Every person is valued, and we celebrate diversity within our school.
Simplicity: Focusing on what truly matters—learning, growth, and reflection.
Stewardship: Caring for the earth and our community with a mindful, sustainable approach.
Peace: Teaching conflict resolution skills that empower students to resolve disputes calmly and respectfully.
Service: Encouraging students to give back to the community through meaningful projects.

Our Quaker philosophy encourages a “search for truth” and fosters an environment of peace, respect, and kindness. Through weekly Meeting for Worship and a commitment to social responsibility, we instill values that will guide our students throughout their lives.
