Relocating Families

Located in Wynnewood, on the border of Philadelphia and the Main Line, FCS students enjoy life on two spacious, state of the art and green green campuses that are easily accessible to all!

As we take full advantage of our outstanding facilities and 46 acres of green space, we also make active use of Philadelphia’s cultural and intellectual resources. 

Our Lower School campus, for students in Nursery – grade 5, is housed at 228 Old Gulph Road, and our City Avenue campus, for students in grades 6 – 12, is located at 1101 City Avenue. Click here to see more detailed direction information. 

Joining the Friends' Central community is more than simply enrolling in a school. We go further. When families choose Friends’ Central, they are joining a community committed to the School’s Mission and Vision: to cultivate the intellectual, spiritual, and ethical promise of our students; to awaken courage and intellect - and peacefully transform the world. The results of a Friends’ Central education are lifelong. Our graduates pursue their passions at top colleges and universities. Alumni/ae report that they are well prepared to excel academically, to lead, and to problem solve. And, when Friends’ Central alumni/ae graduate into the world, they are simply extraordinary.
