Description

West Chester Friends School is an independent Quaker elementary school educating boys and girls in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. In keeping with the School’s philosophy and mission, children are taught an enriched, preparatory curriculum, supported by the arts and technology. West Chester Friends students learn in the context of Quaker values, including respect for one another, self-discipline, peaceful conflict resolution, and responsibility to the community.

The West Chester Friends School philosophy is based on the conviction that there is that of God in each individual. We therefore seek God through our daily experiences and through worship together. We stress the importance of self-discipline, community responsibility and outreach, respect for the dignity of all people, and the settling of differences through peaceful means.

Our mission is to build upon the strengths of the School’s tradition and philosophy in order to: meet the needs of our children; celebrate those talents that are within each of our students; develop the whole child through a comprehensive educational program.
