History
The Miquon School was founded in 1932 by Margaret Kiscadden and Peggy Irwin as a cooperative run by parents, as a "progressive, independent elementary school in a red, two-room farmhouse in Whitemarsh Township".[2] The school follows the educational philosophy of John Dewey, who "developed curricula and methodologies that focused on activities and projects, discovery, investigation, and real-world experiences".[3]
By 1947, the school had over 100 students, ages 3 to 12.[4]
The Upper School was founded in 1970 and later became The Crefeld School.[5]
