The Miquon School is an independent, parent-owned, elementary school located in Whitemarsh on the suburban outskirts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Miquon School was founded in 1932 by a group of parents following the progressive philosophy of John Dewey. The Upper School was founded in 1970 and later became The Crefeld School. Central to the school's philosophy is that children learn best through inquiry and discovery. Children often work independently or in small teams. Miquon School attempts to cultivate joy in learning, by emphasizing the child's ownership and personal involvement in their learning. Typical examples: third-graders have an authors' party in which they share their original writing with parents and other students; a math lesson on scale can lead to constructing a model of the solar system that spans the length of the campus. In accordance with its philosophy, Miquon provides ample "choice time" for children to pursue their own interests. Specialist classrooms (music, science, PE, library, and art) are often open at such times so that children can drop in. After graduation, students go to a wide range of middle and upper schools in Philadelphia and the suburbs, including neighborhood schools and academically-selective public programs.
