Preschool - 12th grade
For over 200 years, Moorestown Friends School, located in southern New Jersey just minutes from Philadelphia, has offered exceptional education: small classes, academic rigor and high-quality teachers encourage children to achieve their potential in a caring environment.

Moorestown Friends School views ethical development as the foundation of our curriculum. We welcome students of all faiths; only a minority of our student body is Quaker. The school’s average SAT scores are annually the top in southern New Jersey by a significant margin and virtually all of our graduates go to college.

While many schools are transactional, Moorestown Friends School is transformational: We help children develop into better people. Starting in preschool, students learn life skills, from listening, fair play and cooperation to critical thinking, conflict management and decision-making by consensus. With this training, our students grow into adaptive, intelligent and open-minded adults. We produce ethical and resilient young people with strong critical thinking skills.

Student enrollment is 725 students, with class expansion points at sixth and ninth grades. Our preschool program features part-time and full-time options, while full-day instruction begins in Prekindergarten.

Stevens Cooperative School was founded in 1949 as a parent cooperative nursery school for children of professors at Stevens Institute of Technology.  It has grown (almost 400 children) to be the largest cooperative school in the state and has always maintained and developed its progressive philosophy of education. The school has campuses in both Hoboken (2 year olds - 8th grade) and in the waterfront community of Newport in Jersey City (Kindergarten - 8th grade). We believe in authtentic, constructivist learning experiences for children in a collaborative environment where children are encouraged to question, explore and discover. All subject areas are integrated and our "Specials" (Art, Computer, Foreign Languages, Music, Movement, Physical Education) are all considered essential components of our program. Classroom learning is supported by many day trips to museums, theater and local exhibits and on longer trips to the mountains of New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, a dairy farm in Vermont, Washington DC, and an exchange trip to Mexico. We graduate articulate, confident, self-aware 8th graders who value learning and are ready to enter prestigious and challenging high schools in New Jersey and New York.
