Why DV?
Delaware Valley Friends School is one of the nation’s best schools for bright students who learn differently. We prepare students in grades 1 to 12 to thrive in college and in life through an innovative education rooted in our purposeful Quaker culture and in authentic partnerships that support each student’s success. Our community strives to optimize strengths, celebrate differences, and awaken aspirations.
Delaware Valley Friends School is shaped by two foundational elements: an academic approach driven by best practices in educating students who learn differently and a culture and community based upon Quaker principles and practice. These two aspects of the school’s identity are profoundly interwoven and together create an atmosphere where students and families feel understood, honored, supported, and valued.
