Westfield Friends School lights a brilliant path for children. As a Quaker school, we honor the Divine essence in every student; we find power and wisdom in our differences; and we seek truth through active, joyful, collaborative inquiry. Our graduates go on to lead lives of conscience and consequence. The world we seek for our children beings here.

Guided by our Mission:
Our education is an education of Quaker standards.
We hold ourselves to the highest aspirations of our tradition and the highest standards in the field. We make space for growth and change, and allow every member of our community to flourish.

Our education is an education of conscience.
We reach beyond ourselves, take responsibility for the health of our community and our environment, and consider the effect of our thoughts and actions on those around us.

Our education is an education of consequence.
We usher into the world students capable of building community, leading from the head and the heart, and using their skills, their compassion, and their intelligence to advance both their personal visions and the common good.

In 1788, Abraham Warrington proposed to the Chester Meeting that he open a new school. Westfield Friends School has operated under the care of the Westfield Meeting since that time. From it's beginnings, the school has encouraged "everyone of good character" to join its community. The care relationship between the Meeting and the School has shaped both communities for 230 years and remains a precious stewardship and trust.

Erected in 1840 after the original school was lost to a fire, the current Head of School's office in the main building is located in the oldest standing part of the school. The site of the current Pre-K building was the old Meeting House, rebuilt in 1860 after the original Meeting House, built in 1800, was also lost to fire.The current Meeting House was built in 1963.

Established in 1788, Westfield Friends School is a selective coeducational Quaker day school serving students from preschool (age 2) through eighth grade. Located just off Route 130 in Cinnaminson, NJ, we are convenient to a wide variety of South Jersey and Philadelphia locations.
