Meaningful Learning, Purposeful Life

Friends Education
Friends have been linking intellectual, social and spiritual growth for nearly 400 years. Teachers in Friends schools aim to expose children to a “way of seeing the world” that will have a lasting impact on their lives, nurturing a passion for the truth and concern for social justice; and confidence that they can make a difference.
Why Friends Education?
Service Learning
Our belief that our students are preparing for morally-based, global citizenship impels us to utilize the world around us, so they learn that there’s a larger community of which they are a part, that they can participate in it helpfully and that they can influence the lives of others in powerful, positive ways.

"This year, I wrote and presented 'Power to the People' with Amber and Zuri. We were inspired after remembering three 8th graders working together last year. We wanted to speak our minds and thought we’d have even more of a voice all together. I’m not fully comfortable with public speaking, but I’ve become more comfortable over the years here..."

"Always try and keep trying. Last year, when we were doing our windmill projects while reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, ours didn’t work at first, but we kept going, and then finally got it. The windmill turned out really well and it felt great to have all our efforts pay off..."
