Great School, I am so happy that both my children attended. Olney exposed them to International Cultures, Sustainability, and gave them a sense of Community, self confidence, and an Education they will use all their lives.

I went to Olney, and I sent my son to Olney.
It was intellectually challenging, and the values of the Society of Friends are some of the most important spiritual values I ever learned.
