Charisma Presley and Joseph Dougherty did a comprehensive and extensive search when looking for the right school for their son Phinneas–an often quiet and reserved child. Among their priorities were diversity and academic rigor. They also wanted Phinneas to be in a place where he was comfortable and free to ask lots of questions.

In the end, the best place for Phinneas was Friends’ Central School–an independent, coed, Quaker based school, with two campuses–both located in Wynnewood.
