History

The Crefeld School was founded as The Miquon Upper School in 1970 by Arnold Greenberg in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. The school later moved to the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia Greenberg, a former teacher at The Miquon School (a private progressive elementary school founded in 1932), created the new upper school partly in response to requests from many parents and former students from The Miquon School who wanted the opportunity to continue their schooling in the tradition of progressive education. Greenberg was granted permission by The Miquon School's board to include the "Miquon" name in the title of his new school, but the two schools were always entirely independent of each other. To avoid controversy, the upper school changed its name to The Crefeld School. Currently, the school enrolls 110 students in grades 7-12.

The Crefeld School is accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Private Academic Schools (PAIS) and Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In addition, The Crefeld School is licensed as a private academic school by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
