Partnering with Parents

Partnering with Families from the Start

Rooted in Relationship: Education is a collaborative journey.

At Abington Friends School, we believe that students thrive when families and educators partner closely to support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. This shared commitment fosters a vibrant, inclusive community where each student benefits from the strength of connection and shared purpose.

Supportive Community

Our family partnerships are active and ongoing throughout the school year, including all-school initiatives, educational workshops, seasonal programs and community-building events. We invite and value family involvement as an essential part of the AFS experience, helping to shape a school culture rooted in Quaker values, joyful learning, and a deep sense of belonging.

These relationships don’t just benefit students—they enrich our whole community. Families bring important perspectives, ideas, and energy to our school life. By working together, we create a learning environment where children feel seen and supported, and where their growth is nurtured both in and out of the classroom.

This spirit of partnership is something we cherish, and it’s what makes AFS feel like home for so many.
