The Spring-Ford Area School District is a K-12 school district based in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States, and expands into Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Spring- Ford Area School District came into being when Royersford School District and Spring City School District merged in 1955 (1955-56 school year). The district's name is taken from the "Spring" in Spring City and the "Ford" from Royersford.
The district serves the residents of the Boroughs of Royersford and Spring City, and the Townships of Limerick and Upper Providence. Many of the postal addresses within the district do not reflect the municipal borders, and may have addresses in Oaks, Mont Clare (both villages in Upper Providence), Linfield (a village in Limerick), Collegeville, Phoenixville, Pottstown, Schwenksville, or Perkiomenville as well.
As of October 1, 2009, the district had an enrollment of 7,711 pupils, making it the 31st largest public school district in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the second largest serving parts of Montgomery County. Two years prior, the district's enrollment had only been 7,372, and was only the 34th largest public school district in the Commonwealth. .

Famous quotes containing the words area, school and/or district:
“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
