Admissions
Join our community, where boys from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade prepare to transform our world.
The Haverford School, situated on the Main Line in the suburbs of Philadelphia, has a history of excellence dating back to 1884. Here, boys develop character, intellect, and compassion. They learn about themselves and their communities, and explore the connections among them.
See the graphic below for an example of our rolling admissions process. For more detail, visit our Apply to Haverford page.

In their words
[Head of School] Mr. Casertano standing outside the auditorium, greeting every upper schooler by name and with a fist bump, is a small action that shows genuine interest in the student body. Another favorite moment in this community is seeing the entire student body rise in applause after a student reflection.
Michael, Student
Haverford boys feel comfortable taking risks. They possess the enthusiasm to give an answer that may not be correct; the emotional intelligence to cry while reading a sad book; and the confidence to try new things. We develop deep connections with our boys, elevating the educational experience for us all.
Kate Thorburn, faculty
I have a front row seat to observe, in real time, my son and his peers becoming their best selves. They are confronting challenges and choosing growth over comfort in their endeavors. They are growing up together, each with tremendous pride and respect for one another and themselves. They are becoming impressive young men and I'm grateful to be part of it.
