Frankford Friends School

Frankford Friends School (also known as FFS) is an independent, coeducational Quaker day school for students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through eight. It is located at 1500 Orthodox Street in the historic Frankford section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Over a rich history spanning several centuries, Frankford Friends School has provided a nurturing and inclusive education while instilling Quaker values in its students, ages 4-14. The Quaker principles that are the foundation of the school also guide their daily interactions. They believe in fostering an inclusive and respectful environment where every student is valued for who they are. Through community service initiatives, students develop a deep sense of social responsibility for our immediate community and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world. They embrace diversity and celebrate individuality, preparing their students to navigate an interconnected world with empathy, understanding, and appreciation for different perspectives. Because of Frankford Friends School’s commitment to socio-economic diversity, the Board sets a tuition that is the lowest of any Quaker school in the Delaware Valley.

FFS is accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools (PAIS), Friends Council on Education (FCE), and is a member of NAIS and ADVIS.
