I attended Haverford for the entirety of my childhood (Kindergarten through graduation) and enjoyed every moment. The school's culture is as strong as it could possibly be in virtually every single way. There is a level of care for student growth displayed by the faculty that simply does not exist in other school. The small size of the school along with the strong culture made it a true pleasure to attend. I feel that the education that Haverford gave me was as strong as it could have been and prepared me adequately for college.

The Haverford School is an excellent place to work. Haverford founds its teaching in ensuring that boys are prepared for life. More than just academic and athletics, Haverford works to prepares boys to social-emotional leaders by integrating a series of 24 virtues into curricula. it is my firm beflief that the Haverford School is a premier institution to work at and attend.

We have had two boys at Haverford for more than four years. They are different and both have found a place. The middle and high school has sports as part of their daily curriculum and both our sons have found a place with the appropriate amount of commitment. Education is the central focus of the sc...

Let me be clear- this school has one extracurricular option- sports. They are very competitive too, so you can't just coast and have fun. There is an extremely underdeveloped arts, media/design, theater, and volunteering organization. Again, it's really all just sports. The groups are extremely cliq...

Last year was my only year at Haverford and it was terrible. Whether it be the horrible teachers, the bullying, the drug problems or the false brotherhood. First, from the outside this school is exquisite they have tons of playing fields as well as squash courts and tennis courts. The campus is also...
