My children have grown so much during their time at Olney Friends School. They are more confident in themselves, have a sense of purpose, and remain conscious about how they lead their lives. They care about other human beings and the environment, things they intentionally include in their lives after attending this school.

Well if I'm being honest coming to Olney was probably one of the best decisions me and my family made, reason being is that I as a student has learn't so much about myself and about other different cultures and majority groups of people. To be honest they was a period in my life at Olney where I got so tired of the environment it's probably due to the fact that I'm a boarding student and I also did miss home a lot which sucked but at the end of it all I had the Olney community which supported me regardless my attitude or my change of mood every time. So all I have to say regarding the school is I support everything they have going on the truth is coming to Olney isn't about just getting academic time it's more about living within a community where you learn so much that you thought as a person you would never un cover.

Olney not only is the type of school where students want to go, but also the type of school where parents want to send their kids. The campus is safe, the student body is respectful, and the culture lends itself to open, honest, timely discussions on relevant real-world topics.

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.
