Abington Friends School cultivates fearless, curious learning in a culture of intellectual and creative ambition. Engaged and purposeful in every moment, students leave AFS with clear, strong, and thoughtful voices, prepared for lives of meaning and accomplishment.

In this Friends school environment, children develop deep roots of inner strength and the ability to thrive in dynamic settings and make the most of their future college and professional communities. AFS is a school that joyfully embodies its mission. Our students are fully immersed in the classroom experience, in the arts, on playing fields and in the precious times they enjoy just being together on the playgrounds or in the Student Commons.

Community and classroom life is rooted in a profound respect for individuals, Quaker attunement to finding spiritual meaning in day-to-day life, and an intellectually powerful capacity for the collaborative search for truth and deeper understanding.
