We are thrilled with our son''s education. We are grateful to have found such a warm and welcoming school that also challenges our son academically. He joined MFS in 9th grade and has been exposed to so many opportunities - both in the classroom (AP, Honors, leadership roles) and within the school community (School Ambassador Volunteer, Spirit Week, Robotics/Science Olympiad, Multicultural Events, Intensive Learning). His experience with administration, teachers and peers is positive and supportive.

MFS is a fantastic school, with great parent involvement and a real sense of community. We are not Quaker but have great appreciation for the Quaker values that the school focuses on in developing the whole child (simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality and stewardship). The teachers are fantastic and seem to really love their jobs, and the administration is supportive and caring. Class sizes are small. We started our child at 3 in the preschool program and it was difficult to transition to school from home and the school couldn't have been more supportive or more caring about it. We felt like real partners in our child's school experience, with a shared desire for the best possible outcomes. The academic component of the Beginnings program is top-notch, but also allows for plenty of play and exploration. I strongly believe this is the best school in the area.

Strong focus on academics, wonderful community, 10/10.

Our son has been at Moorestown Friends School (MFS) since pre-kindergarten, and now, as a sophomore, he's absolutely thriving. From day one, MFS has been an exceptional place for him to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The academics at MFS are top-notch. The small class sizes and dedicated teachers give him the personalized attention he needs to excel. He's been encouraged to think critically, work independently, collaborate in groups, and tackle problems creatively. The curriculum strikes a nice balance between traditional academic rigor (Honors and AP tracks) and hands-on, innovative programs like early language learning, coding, and even woodshop. It's been exciting to watch him grow into a confident, capable learner. The MFS community is another big reason we love the school. The Quaker values of integrity, respect, and equality are woven into the culture in a way that feels natural and meaningful—not preachy or overdone. You can see those values reflected in how students, teachers, and families treat each other. It's clear that MFS cares just as much about building character as they do about academic success. Our son takes Chinese at MFS, and one of the highlights of his experience so far was last year's intensive language learning trip to China. He had the chance to explore China's rich traditions, history, and modern life while practicing his Mandarin in real-world situations. From visiting iconic landmarks to staying with local families, it was an unforgettable experience that broadened his perspective on the world. Now he's looking at colleges with strong study abroad programs! Outside the classroom, MFS offers a wide variety of community service opportunities that instill a strong sense of civic responsibility and compassion in students. And while MFS has a nice range of athletic programs, they've gone out of their way to support his passion for rowing, even though the school doesn't have its own team. By awarding him a varsity letter for his participation in the Moorestown Rowing Club, they showed how much they value and celebrate students' individual achievements, even outside of school activities. That kind of flexibility and encouragement has made a big difference for him. What we love most about MFS is how they focus on the whole child. It's not about pushing kids through a "college prep pipeline," but about developing thoughtful, well-rounded young adults who are confident, resilient, and kind. Our son has flourished in this environment, and we've seen him grow into someone who's not only academically strong but also a really good human. If you're looking for a school that's nurturing, challenging, and values-driven, we can't recommend MFS enough.

We have sent our children to MFS since they were 3 (preschool) and have been very happy with our experience. More importantly, our kids are happy and excited to go to school every day. We love the diverse community and value the connections we have made with teachers and other students/families. We appreciate the school's focus on developing the whole child—academically, artistically, athletically, socially, and emotionally. We look forward to each new school year!

Our decision as a family to send all three of our children to Moorestown Friends (K through 12th Grade) has been the biggest and the best decision we have made as a family.All three of our children are quite different people. With that said, all three have maximized their potential and have thrived socially and academically. The community at the school is unique and it has enabled them to meet so many distinct types of people and experience different ideas and beliefs. While experiencing this, the school develops their critical thinking skills and work/study habits. This process will be critical for them moving forward in their lives. These are life skills that colleges and employers truly cherish. We have seen this with our older children. Moorestown Friends students are prepared and are often significantly ahead of many other students during the college transition. This is why so many outstanding colleges come to Moorestown Friends to meet and engage with our students prior to the application process. Once again, a complete college search experience that is professionally run by the college counseling department. This department is elite and is an asset of the Moorestown Friends. This needs to be strongly considered versus the many other public-school processes which often are not personalized to your student.Also, the school provides wonderful opportunities outside of traditional school. There are dozens of outstanding clubs, sports teams, and school trips through the intensive learning program. Leadership positions and unique experiences are available to anyone who wants one. In addition to the options above, the capstone projects during their Junior and Senior year give students an opportunity to explore deeper into personal area of interest. One of my two daughters has designed, and 3D printed a child's prosthetic hand. My son developed an algorithm to aid in stock selection for mutual funds. These projects were all aided by teachers who were invested in the students and helped guide them to their eventual college majors.Often you hear parents complain about substandard teachers that often lack preparation or even care about your child's path or goals. This is not the standard here. The teachers and administration are amazing. The teachers will challenge your student. Your student will have daily homework which can be difficult and inevitably they will struggle at times to find their way. This is okay. This process will make them better and, in the end, they will be prepared. Patience, a little extra work and a guided parental effort in these times will help your student learn and grow. Moorestown Friends will forever be part of our lives and I will always be thankful for all they have contributed to our family. If you are considering this school and are not 100% up to speed with this type of community and school, you should visit and strongly consider taking the leap and just sign up. It is a decision, if given time, will come back to reward you and your child many times over the cost of the investment which can seem large. It is a true-life changer for these kids and creates an opportunity that cannot be fully covered in my review. Go for it. You will not regret this decision. MFS is amazing.

We have been sending our children to Moorestown Friends since Pre-school and have had an excellent experience. The school has a balanced approach to child development. They focus equally on academics, social and emotional development and spiritual wellness. They also value athletics and have a strong arts program. In our opinion, this approach helps develop a well-rounded and happy child. The support the school shows to the teachers and staff is also unparalleled. The school works hard to develop a wonderful sense of belonging and community.

Our experience at Moorestown Friends School has been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter has been there for two years now and has thrived. MFS instills a sense of education, community, purpose, empathy and well-roundedness in all its students. The families and staff are welcoming and everyone makes time to get involved and help build a future for our children. We highly recommend MFS!

Moorestown Friends has been a wonderful educational experience for our two children, who have enjoyed very different experiences. One child is quite strong academically was challenged and supported and is now thriving in college. Our other child is still at the school and has become very independent and focused with his schoolwork which wasn't the case a few years ago. Both also had great athletics experiences and found it very easy to take advantage of clubs and other extracurricular opportunities Both had GREAT teachers throughout Lower School and Middle School, and this continues through Upper School where the advisor program plays a much bigger role in supporting the students.

Moorestown Friend School has been a great investment in the education of our children. The academic programs are challenging however taught by teachers who truly care about the success of each student. The school is very diverse and everyone is valued and accepted. Students are encouraged to join extracurricular activities - sports, clubs, languages, the arts to enhance their educational experience. MFS students are like a large family where it is common for students to help each other to achieve goals and excel at whatever they are doing.

MFS is a warm and welcoming environment for families of all backgrounds, not just Quakers. The students are of the highest caliber and I'm amazed by the curious minds of the preschoolers, the kindness of the Lower School students, the maturity of the Middle Schoolers, and the astounding achievements of the Upper School students. Family-like atmosphere.
