Second this! My daughter went to Plymouth Meeting Friends School until 6th and Abington Friends School 7-12 and it could not have been a better experience for her. Not every child is ready for the testing and study rigor of a GFS in the middle schools years and PMFS and AFS were the perfect fit for my daughter’s emotional needs and educational pace. Of course, every child is different, but I would recommend Quaker education and value system to any family that can afford it and can commute it (we were CC to Jenkintown, so no problem there). My daughter graduated from a top-tier college in ‘21, is working in her chosen field, and is going to business school in Philly for her CPA soon. All while living on her own with no $$ support from mom and dad. AFS fostered her independence, intellectual curiosity, and respect for others with a beautiful campus, sports opportunities, and 6 to 1 student teacher ratio. She could have gone anywhere after college (she had internships in Italy and Japan) but she wanted to come back to Philly and live her life here. I think that says a lot about the impact AFS had on her. 10/10!

I'd recommend Conshohocken and Ardmore. Both have good restaurants, are close to Philly, and have apartment options and good public transit (Ardmore moreso than Conshy). I'd stay away from King of Prussia (which is not really close to Philly) and Manayunk, where the scene is much younger and the apartment stock is not great.

Half of Bergen County's population was conceived at the old Drive-In in Paramus!

It's South Jersey, but Curaleaf in Delran has a great selection of concentrates, edibles, drops, etc. It is off 75 and 295 south of the Walt Whitman bridge.
