Nether Providence Elementary School

Had two children go through this school about 5-8 years ago and we absolutely LOVED the school! We moved from Philadelphia into the school district and the teachers were dedicated to getting our kids caught up and on track with their curriculum. We had some issues though with our last child in the school which turned us off. He is special needs and we felt that the level of communication between the school and us was not on par. We were VERY disappointed because we expected the same quality of education that we received from the older two and did not get it. Needless to say he is no longer at this school as we decided that maybe a home schooling situation would be better.

My daughter is a first grader at NPE. She has had a wonderful experience here. Her teacher is excellent, high-energy, intelligent, caring and committed. She has 18 children in her class, with two teachers present. I paid $12K for that ratio last year year in private school. What NPE offers is superior to private schools I'm familiar with as a student and parent. The environment is warm, nurturing and orderly. It really seems that each child matters, each child is given what they need to succeed. The school is more diverse than the two other in the district, which is a plus. There are many resources available, esp in music education. Values such as tolerance, kindness and responsibility are openly taught and encouraged. We could not be more pleased!

Our children LOVE NPE, and so do we as their parents. It is a 'Family' oriented school, and the teachers, and staff are exceptional. The quality of academic programs are wonderful, including all extracurricular activities. Parent involvement is extremely high, and that is very important. As the slogan goes, 'NPE IS THE PLACE TO BE!'

My children have been going here for years. Top notch teaching staff ... they are the secret of Wallingford-Swarthmore. The teacher dedication is overwhelming. My children are receiving the best education possible! The extra activities - Math Club, Reading Club, Fitness Club, Running Club, and Art Club are fantastic. The music program offered is second to none! Keep up the great work.

I have a child entering NPE located in Wallingford PA.I just know this school is very good and does care about the children, and their safety. Teachers spend as much time as they can possible with each student and as a parent that's extremely important to me & my son.
