Meaningful Learning, Purposeful Life

About us

OUR VISION: Meaningful Learning, Purposeful Life OUR MISSION: We awaken the passion and potential of all individuals within a welcoming, diverse community led by Quaker values. OUR VALUES: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Stewardship & Service Founded in 1876, Media-Providence Friends School is a co-ed Quaker day school for students age 2 through grade 8 located in downtown Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. A close-knit learning community, MPFS offers students big views of the world ahead. Here, in small classes, under the caring tutelage of early childhood, elementary school and adolescent experts who are passionate about teaching, students from diverse backgrounds and faiths grow up together, immersed in an academic environment that speaks to all the aspects of their beings: intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual. Every day, students at MPFS are engaged in the processes of learning and inquiry in contexts that honor the Quaker values of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, Stewardship, and Service. As they make connections between lessons and life, learn to recognize their Inner Light to act upon their convictions, and grow into change-making members of their community, they discover that learning itself is a lifetime pursuit.
