Values & Mission

Along with the fundamental belief in cultivating and recognizing the Inner Light in all people, the Friends Testimonies serve as a practical foundation for learning at Media-Providence Friends School. MPFS embraces the values of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality and Service & Stewardship. These values, often referred to as the SPICES, infuse curriculum in every grade and subject, and explicit instruction in their meaning and application occurs in Humanities and Advisory classes.
