Open Quote Ten years ago my family chose Abington Friends School Kindergarten for the nurturing environment, strong values based education and passionate educators. As our children have moved through each division at AFS we have looked at other area private schools and each time our confidence in our choice is reaffirmed. AFS is truly nonpareil. It provides academic rigor in a collaborative environment that produces strong students and independent thinkers. Close Quote

Open Quote Abington Friends School is the perfect balance of academic rigor and a nurturing environment. The teachers and students have strong relationships that makes AFS a safe place to grow and learn. Challenging oneself academically is expected and respected. My children have grown into mature critical thinkers, joyful learners, and advocates for themselves and those around them. The leadership skills combined with a strong sense of social justice allows them to effectively manage the diverse and complex world in which we live. If you haven't seen AFS is action, it is well worth a visit! Close Quote

Open Quote School at one time was one of the elites, But in the recent years, Bad hiring,People in the wrong positions and bad decisions by management has this school on a path it will take years to recover from and they haven't changed course yet, So, It is going to be a quite a few years.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
