Parent and student testimonials describe Haddonfield Friends School as a warm, caring community that offers personal attention from teachers and administrators, with a curriculum that includes activities such as yoga and making pasta as part of a Strega Nona literature unit. One middle school student describes the teachers, kids, and others at the school as inspirational, kind, patient, and passionate, and notes that the small environment allows teachers to help students who struggle with a subject while also stimulating other children. Another parent describes the school as a loving community that embraces individual children, and the same middle school student calls it “a great place with even greater people.”
