Several Friends organizations are based in the Newtown Area: Newtown Friends School is a Quaker elementary school (grade K-8) that was founded by and continues under the care of Newtown Friends Meeting. George School, a Quaker boarding school for grades 9 - 12, is also nearby. Newtown is home to Friends Home and Village, a retirement residence under the care of Bucks Quarter. Chandler Hall is a Quaker Health Services organization dedicated to providing a full continuum of care for the older adult. Pennswood Village is a Quaker-run continuing care retirement community located near Newtown.
