Friends School Haverford

Friends School Haverford, founded in 1885, is a Quaker day school near Philadelphia in Haverford, Pennsylvania. It serves preschool through elementary students—fewer than 100 children total. That small enrollment means you teach in a school where leaders know every family's name and teachers shape curriculum together, not alone in classrooms.

The school's Quaker principles matter in hiring. Friends School Haverford looks for educators who believe character and academics belong together. You'll teach intellectual skills while building self-awareness in young learners. Spanish runs through the program, so classroom teachers and Spanish instructors work side by side. The school's commitment to intentional diversity means your lessons reflect many backgrounds and family stories.

Day school teaching here offers a different rhythm than boarding roles. You lead classes, respond to individual student needs, and go home each evening. Within a small community, your influence over how the school evolves is real. You attend faculty meetings where your voice counts. You shape which books land in classrooms and how students approach problems.

Friends School Haverford hires for classroom teaching positions, Spanish instruction, and support roles in both divisions. As a smaller independent school, compensation and benefits reflect the school's scale. Candidates should contact administration directly to discuss salary, health coverage, and retirement options specific to each role.

Teaching here suits educators drawn to values-driven work and close relationships with students and families. The Quaker tradition emphasizes listening, integrity, and respect—core to daily life, not printed on posters.
