Mary Mcdowell Friend School is truly an amazing school, community and environment for ideal learning suited to ALL students and our individualized learning. I started at mmfs back in 3rd grade (2007), fast forward and I am a class of 2016 alumni, currently enrolled in American University. (something my parents would have been proud of any of their children for doing, let alone their child with the most serve to learn difficulties. Note I did label myself as disabled, I think my writing speaks for itself.)I was unable to read, couldn't write past a 1st-grade level, was acting out in all ways because I wasn't given the tools I needed to be "smart", thankfully when I left a park slope public school to attend Mary Mcdowell, all that and so much more changed. I am an Education major and I am considering getting my master in Special Education, I attribute MMFS to that dream becoming a reality. I was not the perfect student although as the years went by, I went from getting some A's with the downfalls of some C's, to straight A's my entire high school career. Once it became clear I was hungry for higher levels of learning and educating myself before college, MMFS made it their mission to help me achieve my academic potential. As well as shaping me into a self-aware global citizen who wants to leave the world a little better. Thank you to all the Mary Mcdowell Staff even the ones I use to get into heated political and feminism based arguments with. ~~~~

Highest recommendation. Visit, and the many reasons why will be immediately clear...as will your relief and renewed hope as you contemplate entrusting your child to these true educators. A place of both kindness and vision.
