The Haverford School

The Haverford School is an independent all-boys school in Haverford, Pennsylvania, founded in 1884. Located on the Philadelphia Main Line, Haverford serves young men from Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12, enrolling approximately 1,000 students. The school's mission is to develop boys of character who are intellectually engaged, socially responsible, and prepared for leadership. Haverford offers a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum with Advanced Placement and honors courses, a comprehensive fine and performing arts program, and one of the most celebrated athletic programs in the Philadelphia region—with particular distinction in lacrosse, football, and baseball. The school's commitment to the development of the whole boy is reflected in its advisory program, community service requirements, and character education initiatives.
