The Haverford School has been a leader in boys' education since 1884, and we are very proud of the many remarkable Haverford graduates who continue to serve our community and nation. However, we believe the best is yet to come and that we are now a boys' school more than we have ever been in the past. We know more about how boys learn; we do a better job with each boy we teach; and we are a great place for boys to develop their full human potential in our classrooms, art studios, music rooms, and athletic fields.
