Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At United Friends School (UFS), an independent Quaker school in Quakertown, PA, we offer more than strong academics; we nurture the whole child, grounded in enduring values that inspire lifelong curiosity, compassion, and purpose.

What happens when you take a group of curious, open-hearted middle schoolers and place them in one of the most biodiverse places on Earth? At United Friends School, we believe learning should extend far beyond the classroom—and this spring, that belief came to life during an unforgettable weeklong trip in Costa Rica.

The transition to preschool is a significant milestone—not just for children but for parents, too. While some families are ready for a five-day preschool environment, others might find this schedule overwhelming at first. A gentler, part-time introduction, such as a playgroup, can often be a perfect fit.
