 Our
admissions process typically begins with a visit to the school.
Parents may visit during one of our open house dates or call the
Admissions Office to schedule a tour. A visit will provide an opportunity
to learn about the many aspects of our school community. Curriculum,
philosophy, community service and special subject areas are just
a few of the topics discussed during a visit to Haddonfield
Friends School.
To initiate the formal application process, parents must submit
the application form, plus fee, and return the completed reference
forms to the school. When the application packet is complete, the
school will contact parents to schedule a date for the prospective
student to visit.
A visitation allows staff to observe, assess and recommend appropriate
placement. Shortly after a prospective student visits, their application
is brought before the admissions committee for consideration. Within
two to three weeks after the visit, families are notified by mail
of the school's decision.
Applicants for Pre-K and Kindergarten are placed according to their
developmental and behavioral readiness rather than at a set chronological
age. Applicants for all other grades are placed according to their
academic and behavioral readiness. Our goal is to place all children
at the grade level where they will be successful academically and
socially.
Haddonfield Friends School will admit and place any child who through
the testing and interview process demonstrates the potential to
succeed in our program. The school does not have support staff for
children with special needs. Should such special learning, emotional,
or behavioral needs become manifest in spite of the admissions screening,
the school will assist parents in determining a more suitable school
setting for the child.
Haddonfield Friends School admits students without regard to race,
color, religion, and national or ethnic origin.
