United Friends School

United Friends School (UFS) is a pre-school through eighth grade co-educational, independent Quaker day school located in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1983 by a group of parents seeking an education for children based on the Quaker principles of care for one another, truthfulness, simplicity, community, and peaceful resolution of conflicts. UFS continues this noble endeavor today.

Our family-centered approach provides a special opportunity to enrich the entire family's experience through school and community activities. Parental commitment to volunteerism and fundraising provides the backbone of our community and allows for a diverse range of families seeking independent schooling.
