Greenwood Friends School

Who We Are

Greenwood Friends School teaches children to think critically, creatively, and compassionately. We provide a challenging and supportive academic environment, guided by the Quaker principles of peace, integrity, equality, community, simplicity, and stewardship.

Greenwood is the only independent school in our region accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools. We offer personalized, child-centered education to preschool through fifth grade students. We teach to the whole child emphasizing creativity, a love of learning, and positive leadership development. Our children experience "Forest Fridays," an outdoor nature program that educates them about the environment, encourages outside exploration, and builds their confidence.  All Greenwood students receive art, music, and Spanish classes—along with our core curriculum of reading, math, social studies and inquiry-based science.
