About
At MFS, we welcome families of all backgrounds and belief systems into a warm, embracing, and energized community, shaped by our founding Quaker principles. We believe there’s an Inner Light shining in all of us—that we all have special talents and unique perspectives and we all deserve to be valued, supported, accepted, and respected.
This philosophy means that our students treat others with uncommon kindness, forming stronger friendships with classmates and deeper bonds with teachers. They collaborate enthusiastically, support one another, take more risks, and feel safe to learn from mistakes. Here, we know we can go places together that we can’t reach on our own.
At the same time, our students attain remarkable individual accomplishments, including standout test scores, impressive scholarships and honors, and prestigious college acceptances. At MFS, our students learn to acknowledge the spark of potential in themselves—and then to honor it by working hard and doing their best.
Our students are great kids going places. They are also brave thinkers with open hearts, reaching higher and working together.
What is your teaching or educational philosophy?
Academics at MFS are based on the twin pillars of academic rigor and spiritual and ethical education. Faculty members are experienced, broadly educated, and very accessible to students. Small class sizes create a dynamic experience.
At every level, students at Moorestown Friends School are challenged to think and apply what they are learning. A rigorous, college-preparatory education gives students the foundation to be active learners. Teachers encourage cross-curricular connections and cultivate critical thinking in classroom discussions and independent projects.
Our students’ participatory experiences at every step in the educational process — including hands-on projects and an extensive program of field trips — help build a lifelong passion for learning. Through a coordinated curriculum and strong faculty support, students have the opportunity for exploration and self-discovery.
Moorestown Friends provides students with a safe environment in which they can expand their minds, their hearts and their souls.
What is your mission statement?
