About

At MFS, we weave academic rigor with Quaker values to serve a dual purpose: offering uncommon intellectual challenges while also instilling vital emotional and ethical attributes that empower our students. Our graduates’ minds are primed to be successful by every traditional measure, while their hearts and souls are poised to define success on their own terms - in choices about college, career, and life itself.

An MFS student learns critically important lessons to treat peers and collaborators. They show appreciation for and patience with each other and debate and disagree kindly and constructively. They understand that by working together, they can go places they might not get to alone.

Our students know there is a spark of greatness in all people. They learn to honor the Inner Light of others, and to live up to it in themselves.

Our community is always ready to welcome new friends from any background or belief system, and we cherish new talents and perspectives. Every student, no matter how long they’ve been a part of the school community, will be seen and appreciated for exactly who they are.

What is your teaching or educational philosophy?

Our focus on relationships creates conditions for great intellectual daring, remarkably productive collaboration, and courageous perseverance. And our Quaker values impart universal principles of equality, compassion, reflection, and responsibility - which serve students from all backgrounds and belief systems and remain relevant in rapidly changing times. Our graduates’ minds are primed to be successful by every traditional measure, while their hearts and souls are poised to define success on their own terms - in choices about college, career, and life itself.

What is your mission statement?

Moorestown Friends School is a community rooted in Quaker values and dedicated to the pursuit of educational excellence for a diverse student body within an academically rigorous and balanced program emphasizing personal, ethical and spiritual growth.
