Moorestown friends school Review

A school where thoughtfulness and integrity go hand in hand with strong academics

Our boys have had a wonderful experience in the Lower and Middle School thus far. The teachers are dedicated and caring, and we greatly value the emphasis on spiritual/ethical development.

I attended Moorestown Friends way back in the tumultuous 1970s. The education I received there has stood me in good stead for my whole life . I learned how to critically analyze things, and not just accept things on their face value. Also, despite not being a Quaker , the values of justice and reaching things through consensus have been of great value throughout my life .

Prepared me for a lifetime of success ,beginning with an easy transition into college, adapting to the challenging world of the wholesale auto business thru college and law school, then 55 years as a corporate trial attorney in the courts of NJ,Pa,and D.C.Learning to be firm ,but fair, study the problem from all sides , and still keep a Quaker calm as life presents its problems for your solutions.

Our child is a student at MFS. The school is wonderful. The teachers are very caring and create a rich environment for the students. Each teacher is so thoughtful about how best to instruct the children and does so in such a way that the kids just love learning, I'm often amazed at how well the teachers read their students and then tailor lessons to best capture and hold the interest of the class. I'm also very happy with the emotional and spiritual education that MFS provides our child. The school focuses on fostering a sense of community by helping children understand the importance of charity and good deeds while still encouraging each child to express herself/himself as an individual. We are extremely happy with our choice to send our child to MFS!

MFS is like a second home to me. The close-knit community feeling and sense of rapport between faculty, students and parents yields an exceptional educational and social experience. MFS provides an innovative curriculum which gives students the skills and strategies they will need to succeed in a global community. Students not only learn in a traditional classroom setting but they also have opportunities to become leaders in social and academic clubs, participate in community service projects and study abroad. These enriching incentives encourage students to expand their learning beyond the classroom and to give back to society.

I truly believe that this school provides much more than an outstanding academic education - it allows each student to fully reach their potential.

Moorestown Friends School is an amazing school. My wife went there from 3rd grade thru highschool, and many of her friends went there as well. I'm always impressed by the people I meet that went there, and the kids that go there. In the past my business has taken on some interns from MFS (as part of their Senior project). Each student we've had has always had a unique perspective, could quickly learn and work well within our shop, and was just years ahead of their age. I know if I were looking for a fantastic school in South Jersey to send a child to MFS would be my only choice.
