Experience the Warm Community & Vibrant Academics of PMFS

We invite you to take as many opportunities as you like to experience the warm community and vibrant academics of PMFS. Tour our website to learn more about why families choose PMFS and what makes us unique and then come see for yourself! We’re just a short drive from the neighborhoods of Northwest Philadelphia and Montgomery County. From interactive Open Houses and personal tours to all-school events (our Fourth Grade Circus, Sixth Grade Production, ArtsFest, Strawberry Festival and more), there are myriad ways to get to know Plymouth Meeting Friends School.

The Beauty of Small

Students at PMFS thrive in our intentionally small school community.  Our intimate size creates advantages that are hard to find at larger public or private elementary or K-12 schools.  Here are just a few examples:
 
Personalized Attention: Our teachers have more time to devote to each student, allowing them to develop strong relationships and personalize their teaching approach.

Being Known:
Everyone knows everyone. Students across all grades become familiar with the entire school community. This community awareness creates connection and a safe space where students of all ages are encouraged to use their voice. 
Heightened Student Engagement: Small class sizes create comfort and confidence for our students, allowing them to take greater academic risks, and making it impossible to “fly under the radar.”

Opportunities for Off-Campus Experiences: Whether it's a day trip to visit an author or collect macroinvertebrates at a local watershed, or one of our signature overnight trips (which start in 2nd grade), small class sizes allow our teachers to plan these immersive experiences with ease and to always include everyone. 


From the moment our students set foot on campus they are not only immersed in the joy of learning  -- about the world, relationships, and themselves -- but also thrive in our intimate school community. Here, we embrace the uniqueness of every child.
