A Solid Foundation
Our research-based academic program does so much more than simply impart facts. We teach students the skills they need to be critical thinkers: observing, analyzing, interpreting, reflecting, evaluating, explaining, problem-solving, and decision making. Students with these abilities become the leaders, creators, and communicators our world needs.
A Curriculum Both Robust and Relevant
We prepare students who can nimbly adapt to the evolving technologies and emerging challenges of 21st century life. Newtown Friends helps students make connections between the disciplines, applying what they learn in new and creative ways. The curriculum is rich from core content to special subjects, and is taught by caring, highly-qualified faculty.
Safety and Emotional Wellness
Every parent wants their child to love school and find joy in discovery. Children thrive when they feel safe and confident, aware that their school is protecting their physical and emotional wellbeing. Parents know that at Newtown Friends their child will be part of a school culture with a true sense of community, a place where they will be known and celebrated.
