Greene Street Friends School 20 West Armat Street, Philadelphia, PA 19144

"Since 1855, Greene Street Friends School has educated children according to the Quaker principles of honesty, respect for the individual, peace and simplicity. That tradition of innovation continues today with an emphasis on hands-on learning, peaceful methods of conflict resolution, cultural understanding, community service, environmental education and the thoughtful incorporation of technology into the curriculum. Strong fundamentals and ethical strength prepare our students for a rapidly changing world and enable them to succeed with enthusiasm for learning and for life."

"I’ve had two kids at Greene St and really appreciate the education community. Both my kids are happy there and always come home feeling good about their day."

"Amazing school. Phenomenal faculty and very special students. A wonderful place to learn. Truly a family environment."

"I recently graduated GSFS. Overall I had a great experience there, but in my last few years, there was a lot of the frustration with the administrators and I felt like they listened but didn't care (Most). In addition, they often brushed aside issues that needed to be addressed further, and some of the faculty never took the benefit of the doubt to the kids various times. Me and my close friends helped to create Stay Woke Day, to talk about racial issues in America. It took A Lot of time, and we never received the credit we thought we deserved. The education however is incredible, being close with teachers is a great experience to have. The science teacher, Social Studies, Spanish, Music Director, and Language Arts teachers in particular are cool. But I'd definitely apply if you're looking for a close and good relationship with teachers, good education, and nice people I guess."

"We applied for our child to attend to Kindegarten. We came in for an evaluation and all seemed well. Received a call a few weeks later that stated that they felt she was not ready for Kindegarten; would we be interested in pre-k. We told them yes because the goal was a sound early foundation. Never received a follow up call or email back. Contacted the head of the school/admissions and she never returned calls or emails either. I was very disappointed by this rudeness. If a slot was no longer available, please extend professional courtesy and say so. We luckily found a great Montessori Kindegarten program for that year and our little one is flourishing."
