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. .
