The Quaker School at Horsham

The Quaker School at Horsham The child who has fallen far behind in school or experiences social difficulties finds a place at TQS.

The Quaker School at Horsham uses research-based programs provided by compassionate professionals to enable each student with complex challenges to blossom and achieve meaningful personal, social and academic success. We provide a sense of belonging to the children and parents who have felt like outsiders in other schools. The experienced professionals of The Quaker School at Horsham analyze the p

roblem, design an individualized plan and invite the family to be part of the solution. Our research-based programs are carried out in a caring, supportive Quaker environment. The child, who has not been appreciated for his gifts, unlocks his potential at TQS.

Add Percy Jackson and the Olympians to your summer weekend watch list. ⚡️🍿

Percy Jackson has ADHD and dyslexia, and those character traits were deeply intentional. Author Rick Riordan created Percy after his own son's experiences with ADHD and dyslexia helped inspire the story.

For kids who think and learn differently, seeing a hero whose brain works a little like theirs can matter. Representation has a way of reminding students that their differences belong in the story, too. 💙

From TQS to oyster restoration ecology. 🦪🌊

Matthew Gray '98 took his love of learning all the way to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, where he served as an assistant professor of oyster restoration ecology.
Looking back on his time at TQS, some of Matthew's favorite memories include woodshop, ice skating, and, of course, recess with friends.

We love seeing where life takes our alumni and the incredible work they're doing along the way.

Some stories are worth sharing again.

Before TQS, school felt terrifying to Nick. Learning felt impossible, and the future was hard to imagine. Then, with the right support and the opportunity to learn in a way that worked for him, everything began to change.

He learned to read. He found joy in learning. He carried that motivation through high school, college, and into a TQS classroom of his own – as a teacher.

This is why the right school environment matters. When a student is given the skills, support, and belief they need to move forward, the impact can reach far beyond their years at TQS. 💙

Summer means more time together, fewer routines, and approximately 400 more opportunities a day to say, “Please stop doing that.” 😅

One small shift to try: catch them being good.

When you notice your child sharing, helping, trying again, or handling a tough moment well, say it out loud. Be specific. Give the high-five. Let them overhear you telling someone else about it.

Positive reinforcement helps children recognize the behaviors and choices we want to encourage, and sometimes a little extra attention for what's going right can go a long way.

Consider this your summer tip: request the highest of fives. ✋

Leadership looks different here. Sometimes it looks like this. 😂

At TQS, we believe school should be a place where students feel known, supported, and free to be themselves. That starts with the people leading the way—people who show up, join in, and aren't afraid to look a little silly while doing it.

We do school differently around here, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

The best summer activities require approximately zero prep. 🙌

Grab a cup of water and a few paintbrushes, then head outside. Let your child “paint” the sidewalk, driveway, fence, or patio and watch their masterpiece disappear in the sun.

Then? Paint it again. 🎨

A simple way to encourage creativity, fine motor skills, and open-ended play using things you probably already have at home.

People who think differently have always helped change the world.

They ask questions others haven't considered, notice patterns others might miss, challenge the way things have always been done, and imagine possibilities beyond what's already in front of us.

At TQS, we believe the way a student thinks is worth understanding, nurturing, and empowering. Because when students are given the support and space to grow into their strengths, there's no telling what they'll go on to change. 💙

When Anthony first joined TQS, he was quiet and shy—often hesitant to share his voice. Now, he’s completed his first college course and carries a confidence that speaks volumes.

That kind of transformation doesn’t just happen. It’s nurtured. Support the next student like Anthony. Be a champion for kids with complex challenges and make your gift today: https://www.quakerschool.org/support-tqs/make-a-gift

Peace. 💙 At TQS, Peace is one of the Quaker SPICES values woven into how we learn, grow, and show up for one another.

Peace can look like taking a moment to reset, listening with curiosity, working through a disagreement, or helping someone else feel safe and understood. It’s something we practice in the small moments, every day.

What does peace look like to you?
