The Friends School is like a large family of children and adults who enjoy working together and learning from one another. A clear sense of purpose unites the community. Frequent communication between parents and teachers helps ensure that each child receives the right balance of challenge and nurturing.
Teachers encourage parents to participate as classroom volunteers.
The Friends School community is broadly inclusive. A commitment to equality combines with a genuine appreciation for diversity to make the school an especially welcoming place. Progressive admissions policies and a strong scholarship program make the student body as diverse as possible. Volunteers from Foxdale Village Retirement Community broaden the range of friendship and learning opportunities. Cooperative learning is central to classroom life.
