Meaningful learning, purposeful life

Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion

Social Justice is wide reaching across subjects, and is honored throughout the curriculum all year long. This year we are committed to being more intentional about communicating and sharing our JEDI work with our community, as well as bringing more professional development and family events centered around JEDI topics and engagement.

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.

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.

STEAM Education

STEAM Education is the integration of science, technology, engineering, art, math, and music across grades. The cross-curriculum, project-based approach to STEAM at MPFS prepares students for critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, adaptability, and more in a quickly advancing world.

Beyond February: How MPFS Lives Black History Every Day

Our approach to honoring Black history is rooted in the "Windows and Mirrors" philosophy. We strive to provide our students with mirrors that reflect their own identities and windows that allow them to see and value the experiences of others. This pedagogy ensures that Black excellence, joy, and struggle are not "special topics," but essential threads in the tapestry of our collective story...
