Olney friends school, really prepares its students for the rigorous and demanding course work in college. But most of all Olney gets its students thinking, with their reading and writing based class metanoia, students really delve into a text to dig deep and find the hidden message within them.

I really enjoyed my time at Olney Friends School. It gave me a sense of independence but also had good teachers watching over me. The dorm life was fun. I liked the various events in campus. I liked the country location and enjoyed hiking and biking. The current farm with goats and chickens is amazing.

It would be about 50 yrs ago today. I was an outcast , a hippie in the late 60's , 16 yrs old, attending a public high school on the Philadelphia main line. My parents were done with me. They shipped me off to Friends in Barnesville. My experience at Friends changed my life. The teachers, the sports, the girls. I could write five pages of wonderful times and the learning experience, out of this world at Friends. Not enough room here . I was still drafted three years later but now at 65 years old I can look back at all my success in my life and in my mind much of it has to do with how this school helped shape me. I wasn't the greatest or best student but from what I learned at Friends has lasted me all my life . Thank you Friends...Paul Smith

This is a party school with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs readily available to the students. I would not send my child there if I had it to do over again.

As a parent, I felt I couldn't have left my daughter in better hands. She finished her "growing up: years in an environment that taught her values as well as giving her a solid education.
