My Daughters have gone to Friends school since Kindergarten. They love going to school. There has never been a day, they have not been ready to go to school in the morning. I love the fact the school is looking to educate the whole person and looks to instill respect for the earth and all people as part of an outstanding academic program.

I think my child will do great at his next school which is college. Even Though FMS is a small school, I feel confident that my child will thrive in a large college environment. My child's confidence level has gone up significantly during the last 6 years at this school.

Buildings are new. Grounds are beautiful (50 acres) and include woods, stream and ball field. There is no bus service currently, but they send out a survey each year asking parents if they would be interested. Faculty at this school are very devoted and love each student individually.

In transferring from a large local school system to Friends Meeting School for her high school years, our daughter found an appropriately sized learning community where she thrived both educationally and socially.  A difficult decision at the time, this move turned out to be the best decision we hav...
