Buckingham Friends School

Buckingham Friends School

Buckingham Friends School (BFS) is a coed Quaker school for full-day kindergarten through grade 8. On its 44-acre wooded campus in Lahaska PA, students have time for exploration and creative play. Quaker values are woven throughout the program with an emphasis on collaboration, exploration, and experiential learning.

At BFS, students are encouraged to think deeply, reflect thoughtfully, resolve conflicts peacefully, and play exuberantly. As a result, they are known for their confidence, their self-possession, and their ability to articulate their thinking both orally and in writing. Signature programs include rich arts offerings - art, wood-shop, music, and theater. Since 1991, BFS has been part of a cross-cultural and international JEM (Joint Environmental Mission) program with partner schools in Russia, India, China, Australia, Ecuador, Hawaii, Kenya and France.
