The curriculum at Newtown Friends includes a full range of subject areas including language arts, math, social studies, Latin (grades 5 through 8) or Spanish (grades PreK through 8), science, library, music and drama, art, computer and physical education.
Learning at Newtown Friends takes place through a combination of hands-on experiences, group and individual projects, interdisciplinary approaches, as well as through the more traditional methods.
Newtown Friends has a very active intergenerational program with Pennswood, a neighboring Quaker continuing life-care facility.
Community service in the earlier grades occurs through specific projects undertaken within the school which benefit outside agencies.
In fall 2000, Newtown Friends opened a new library media center and five new Lower School classrooms.
