We have had the most wonderful experience at Wilmington Friends School this far. Their early years programming (preschool & pre-k) is phenomenal. Our child has thrived due to support of staff, outdoor play, and curriculum. It is amazing to see Spanish and STEM being introduced in the early years.

Wilmington Friends is an incredible place for our children to learn and grow! What sets Friends school apart? The focus on cultivating experiences for students to grow into good people through exploring rigorous academics, social opportunities, extracurricular, and sports while maintaining a focus on the Quaker testimonies. Friends graduates people who change the world!!
