DV Friends is an amazing school that helps children succeed. Our daughter transferred here in 6th grade with anxiety about school and a 1st grade reading level. Within days, her love of school returned and within months her reading level was at grade level. Every single teacher is 100% vested in your child's success. We are so lucky to be at DV Friends! It is an amazing school!!!!

I was a student here, I would say that the teachers are above average in carrying about their students but there are a few that it is just a job to them and their students are just a number.

Also, physical and emotional bullying occurred and the school deflected blame despite clear physical evide...
Teachers are not trained in Orton to work with dyslexic students. Your child will lose the educational progress they came to the school with,and bullied endlessly. While school does nothing on either acct.
I transferred to this school in tenth grade and it was the best decision my parents could have made for me. I'm thankful that I got to spend my last three years in High School at Delaware Valley Friends and had I had the opportunity to attend earlier I'm sure I would have jumped for it.
