Westfield Friends School

[4] In that year, the monthly meeting appointed a committee to visit and have the oversight of a school kept by Abraham Warrington.

[6] In the summer of 1791, Warrington proposed purchasing "a lot of ground off of the upper corner of Samuel Shute’s lands for erecting a school house."

The meeting records further show that this lot was purchased from Samuel Shute on July 27, 1791 and presumably the stone schoolhouse was erected shortly afterwards.

Funded by revenue from the sale of additional land, construction of a new brick meeting house was completed on April 13, 1860.

[11] Along with academic preparation for high school, students at Westfield Friends School participate in classes in visual arts, music, library, STEAM, health, world languages (Spanish and Latin), physical education, and technology and STEAM instruction.

The school's library houses a computer processing center for students to research and prepare written work.

Extracurricular activities at WFS include team sports (field hockey, soccer, and track and field), community service projects, instrumental music, Chinese language, visual arts, robotics, and drama classes in partnership with the Moorestown Theater Company.

Participants use this time to pray, worship, or simply reflect deeply on the world around them, according to their own faith traditions.
