"I have been familiar with PMFS for many years through my work in Friends schools," Bradley said. "I gained an even deeper appreciation for this school that values the wonder of childhood and provides a firm foundation for lifelong learning, clearly lives its Quaker identity, and nurtures strong and lasting relationships."
Bradley began his career as a third and fourth grade teacher at Friends Academy on Long Island in New York. He recently completed the Heads of School Fellowship Program at the Klingenstein Center for Independent School Leadership at Teachers College, Columbia University, where he also earned his master's degree in curriculum and teaching. He holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame.
He serves as clerk of the finance committee for the Friends Council on Education and as a trustee at Delaware Valley Friends School.
