HFS News & Special Events

How to apply:

Thank you for your interest in Harford Friends School.  The best way to learn more about us is by starting the admissions process.  Come and see us during one of our Open Houses. The schedule is:

Sunday, November 7 2-4pm
Sunday, January 9 2-4pm
Sunday, April 10 2-4pm

Or, schedule a private tour by calling 410-452-5507.  Nothing compares to looking in on our classes and meeting our community.  That subjective and emotional impression is critical for you and your student’s decision process.

Admissions process:

Step 1

The first step to applying is to call 410-452-5507 and schedule a Shadow Day for your student, an admissions assessment, and an interview with an Admissions Representative.  Group assessments for prospective kindergarten students are scheduled on:

Saturday, December 4 (9-11AM)
Saturday, January 22 (9-11AM)

All other students and those kindergarten students unable to attend one of these dates should call for scheduling options.

Step 2

Application forms are available and can be picked up during your interview or downloaded and printed from your computer.  Return a completed application form with the non-refundable $40 application fee to:
