Excellent private school. Easily the best on the Main Line. The reviewer that says "it is no…read moreBaldwin" probably did not get in. The teachers are dedicated and know every student.

FANTASTIC school and community with dedicated and remarkably engaging faculty. The kids at Friends…read moreCentral School (FCS) are kind and caring, humble and free of elitism! You (kids or parents) don't have to be beautiful, wealthy of wear expensive sneakers to feel valued here. And the parents are a thousand times friendlier than the ones at Gladwyne Elementary. If you read "Battle hymn of the tiger mom," Baldwin is more like the mom and FCS is more like the dad. They both end up as Ivy League professors but take different paths to get there. So, it depends what you are looking for. FCS is intentional in teaching excellent academics (just look at the list of colleges the kids attend), critical thinking, intellectual risk taking and compassion. The school uses various strategies to foster psychological and social well being and the result is that kids are not bogged down by loneliness, depression, anxiety, etc. Sports are in perspective alongside drama and music, and other co-educational activities. The curriculum integrates concepts with interesting experiences, such as going to the Rennaisance Faire as part of the social studies lesson on societal structures or examining cheek cells through microscopes for a biology lesson in cell structure. No wonder the school makes kids eager to learn and study! Our child has attended three schools and is by far the happiest at FCS. . Check it out for yourself: Friendscentral.org OPEN HOUSE Sat.

During the school year KEEP is a program for pre-K and K located at Manoa Community Church. The…read moreclass size is small and diverse and the teachers all have long-term tenure and are dedicated education professionals. While it is a Christian-based program that is not the primary focus - the kids are exposed to many of the same methods as Haverford School District and KEEP follows their calendar. They are also very flexible with before and after-care which is a huge relief to working parents. The kids have a ton of time for imaginary play, outdoor play and they have a school garden. Once a month there are "family fun nights" and this is where parents have a chance to build relationships with other families. We treasure our daughter's time there and she returns for the summer day camp (up to age 10 or so). Also, they are a Keystone Stars facility - 3 stars. Highly recommend.

He would come home singing a new song, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or telling me what he did in cooking class, speaking French, or demonstrating his yoga class take-aways! I now can provide a true testament of the skills that he was already prepared for before kindergarten. And the values they taught to make "right choices", right down to my favorite quote that we repeat on the regular... If it's sticky and sweet it's a yucky treat, healthy food is a power treat! And Miss Debbie the director truly cares about the children and runs a fabulous program. Love this school, I'll be sad when my daughter graduates.
