The school's Diversity Coordinator oversees student, employee and curricular diversity efforts throughout the entire school with the aid of a faculty/staff sub-committee. Here is what some recent graduates of the program have to say about their MFS experience: "At MFS, I could concentrate on my studying." - Huy-Tuan Pham, Class of 2003. "It's really great! The Camden Scholars Program gives life-changing opportunities to people who wouldn't receive them under different circumstances. It wasn't easy, but it was well worth it." "The Camden Scholars Program is the best thing that ever happened to me." "I see the world in a different way. I think in a different way. The Camden Scholars Program has taught me not to accept limitations of any kind. I left a more diverse and well-rounded individual." "They have given me a chance to become everything I've dreamed about."

At Moorestown Friends School, we are committed to fostering an environment that is both diverse and inclusive. In keeping with the Quaker philosophy of honoring each individual, students representing different ethnic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds are challenged daily to respect and learn from one another. Across the curriculum, from the youngest students through the Upper School students, we continue to shape and refine a multicultural curriculum that will prepare our students to be productive citizens in the global society in which we live. There are many opportunities for students to be active in promoting diversity awareness such as the Anytown and Martin Luther King Clubs - where students gather weekly to focus on diversity issues affecting the daily lives of students in the community. The Camden Scholars Program has a 30-year tradition of helping to foster a diverse student body at MFS.
