FANTASTIC school and community with dedicated and remarkably engaging faculty. The kids at Friends…read moreCentral School (FCS) are kind and caring, humble and free of elitism! You (kids or parents) don't have to be beautiful, wealthy of wear expensive sneakers to feel valued here. And the parents are a thousand times friendlier than the ones at Gladwyne Elementary. If you read "Battle hymn of the tiger mom," Baldwin is more like the mom and FCS is more like the dad. They both end up as Ivy League professors but take different paths to get there. So, it depends what you are looking for. FCS is intentional in teaching excellent academics (just look at the list of colleges the kids attend), critical thinking, intellectual risk taking and compassion. The school uses various strategies to foster psychological and social well being and the result is that kids are not bogged down by loneliness, depression, anxiety, etc. Sports are in perspective alongside drama and music, and other co-educational activities. The curriculum integrates concepts with interesting experiences, such as going to the Rennaisance Faire as part of the social studies lesson on societal structures or examining cheek cells through microscopes for a biology lesson in cell structure. No wonder the school makes kids eager to learn and study! Our child has attended three schools and is by far the happiest at FCS. . Check it out for yourself: Friendscentral.org OPEN HOUSE Sat.

I spent all 12 years of schooling in this school district. Going to high school though, makes this…read morereview only have 2 stars. First of all, Upper Darby High School has WAY too many kids in it. 4000 kids is too large! How are kids suppose to receive one-on-one classroom attention? Second, this school district is too strict about the testing. Granted, it is not their fault. However, they put so much pressure on us to excel in these tests and it made us not want to do well. Third, they got rid of the music program. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I grew up in the music program. Some of the best teachers in this school district are music teachers. Apparently, the school district doesn't have the funds. Conveniently though, they have the funds for the sports teams. Again, very convenient. I could go on but I digress. I don't want my future children entering into this school district. I do have to add that this school district does give kids the ability to do things that others' don't. They have many programs, such as engineering and cosmetology. They have the option for kids to take classes for college credits. For me though, the bad outweighs the good.

While it is a Christian-based program that is not the primary focus - the kids are exposed to many of the same methods as Haverford School District and KEEP follows their calendar. They are also very flexible with before and after-care which is a huge relief to working parents. The kids have a ton of time for imaginary play, outdoor play and they have a school garden. Once a month there are "family fun nights" and this is where parents have a chance to build relationships with other families. We treasure our daughter's time there and she returns for the summer day camp (up to age 10 or so). Also, they are a Keystone Stars facility - 3 stars. Highly recommend.

He would come home singing a new song, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or telling me what he did in cooking class, speaking French, or demonstrating his yoga class take-aways!

And the values they taught to make "right choices", right down to my favorite quote that we repeat on the regular... If it's sticky and sweet it's a yucky treat, healthy food is a power treat!
