Open Houses

We invite you to explore Norwood-Fontbonne Academy this fall during one of our three Fall 2025 Open Houses: October 8, November 8, and December 10.

Founded in 1920 by the Sisters of Saint Joseph, Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, which is located on 14 beautiful acres in historic Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, offers families the unique choice between the Montessori program or the Primary program for ages 3 - Grade 3, followed by challenging, active learning experiences in Grades 4 - 8.

Home to dozens of clubs and extracurricular activities, NFA offers its students the chance to engage their learning, passions, and curiosity well beyond the classroom. Through the 11-year journey at NFA, we position our students to enter the wider world aware of their own worth and their power as a positive force for good.

Fun Fridays

You are invited to a magical holiday event on December 12! Get ready to make some merry memories! We’re thrilled to invite you and your little ones (2.5 to 5-year-olds) to join us for a visit with Santa and a morning full of festive activities and holiday cheer. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!
