Founded in 1876, Media-Providence Friends School is a co-ed Quaker day school for students in age two through grade eight located in downtown Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
At Media-Providence Friends School, we awaken the passion and purpose of all individuals within a welcoming, diverse community led by Quaker values. We believe that a Friends education is preparation for the whole of life: the passionate development of intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social-emotional capacities.
A close-knit learning community, MPFS offers students big views of the world ahead. Here, in small classes, under the caring tutelage of early childhood, elementary school and adolescent experts who are passionate about teaching, students from diverse backgrounds and faiths grow up together, immersed in an academic environment that speaks to all the aspects of their beings: intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual.
Every day, students at MPFS are engaged in the processes of learning and inquiry in contexts that honor the Quaker values of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, Stewardship, and Service. As they make connections between lessons and life, learn to recognize their Inner Light to act upon their convictions, and grow into change-making members of their community, they discover that learning itself is a lifetime pursuit.
Media-Providence Friends School welcomes its' inaugural class of 2-year-olds to join our preschool program for the 2022-23 school year. Our early childhood program is now full for the 2022-23 school year! That includes all preschool classes, ages 2-4, and kindergarten. If you are interested in these classes for your child, we encourage you to submit an inquiry to join our waitlist. Space is still available for all other grades 1 - 8.
We encourage all interested families to RSVP to our next Virtual Open House at mpfs.org/rsvp.

Goshen Friends School
The program at Goshen Friends, an independent Quaker school founded in 1959, is based on the philosophy that children learn best through dynamic play. Throughout the school year, students are engaged in a variety of activities that are designed to help them grow socially, emotionally, creatively, and academically. Goshen’s experienced teachers honor each child’s individual spirit, helping them to grow independently while teaching them the value of friendship and teamwork.
Year-round, students learn and play both inside and outside. A robust holistic and experiential curriculum in all classrooms includes thematic, play-based lessons that nurture pre-reading, pre-writing, pre-math, and pre-science skills. All students enjoy “specials” classes in art, music, and Spanish, as well as an outdoor education class that takes advantage of the school’s 10-acre campus with nature-based activities like story walks, treasure hunts, gardening and yoga. The curriculum engages the youngest students in preschool through the oldest students in pre-kindergarten with opportunities for hands-on learning that spark children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn.
