Frankford Friends School

Summer At The NEST has been full of adventure! Inside and outside of the classroom, campers dive into how and why community helpers keep us safe. Children are researching more about people who work as police officers, firefighters, grocery store managers, farmers, nurses, doctors, delivery truck and van drivers, and other important jobs that keep our communities running.

Early learners at FFS participate in hands-on learning. Children are provided with strong foundational skills to set them up for success in lower school.
Explore our program and see how each day brings new chances to grow—both as learners and as members of a community where every voice is valued and every student has a place.

A few weeks before the school year concluded, 1st grade had a special visit from our friends at SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority)! They discussed the different methods of public transportation, explored the Safety Education Training bus, and connected with Paws (who had a special hello from Frankie). 🚌

Throughout their time at FFS, students travel around the city, using SEPTA when possible, and see how what they learn in class matters in the wider world.

Campers-turned-chemists worked together to investigate how liquids of different densities create mesmerizing, glowing bubble effects. Under Tr. Tyera's guidance, a few had the opportunity to handle the necessary chemicals to craft homemade lava lamps. 🧑‍🔬

Outdoor exploration is a key part of every student's education at Frankford Friends. Preschool students partake in all-school outdoor expeditions, neighborhood walks, trips to the park, hunt for critters, and attend trips to the city’s wooded areas.

The Early Childhood Center hosted its year-end Farmers' Market! Children plant, grow, cook, bake, juice, and create crafts to fill the shelves of their homemade market. With the help of their teachers, they create the signage, prep jam, make bracelets, and more.

Tomorrow, students will return to the ECC for their first day of school, and our teachers and staff are ready to welcome them. 🦦
