Friends School adds Pre-K classroom and additional K/1 Classroom

8/14/2018

 
Earlier this summer, State College Friends School made the difficult decision to close Friends Schoolhouse on E. Prospect Avenue.  Just two weeks ago, Friends Schoolhouse Teachers Deb and Migelle put the finishing touches on the new Pre-K classroom at University Drive.  "This is a really exciting time for our K/1 students who are eager to meet and help their new younger friends," said Lisa Gamble,  associate head of school.   From the youngest students to those about to graduate, this expression of affection and friendship has been one of the hallmarks of the school.  Multi-age classrooms and a school that encourages student-to-student mentoring create a nurturing environment for our new friends.

Friends School can now offer families a pre-kindergarten option, as well as a K/1 option.  Associate Head of School, Lisa Gamble is highly experienced in helping to determine the best placement for children.  As a child-centered independent school, we look at the whole child as we determine their best placement; the social and emotional skills of a young student often being the most important developmental characteristics to determine readiness.
