Our founder, Barbara Dixon, envisioned a school filled with joyful learners; where all would be “welcomed, respected and appreciated.” Today, Goshen Friends School is a Quaker, PAIS (Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools) accredited, coeducational, country day school for children, preschool through grade five.
