Why Seek a Friends Education for Your Child?
For over 320 years, Friends schools have been educating American youth.
As members of a Quaker school, students:
- are encouraged to seek the good in all people, including themselves
- meet in silent gatherings, allowing for reflection and contemplation
- learn in a spiritual community
- seek the truth in a safe and open environment
- learn to make a difference in the world by working through non-violence for peace, justice, and service to others
- learn through inquiry, reflection and action in daily life
- resolve conflict through respecting and listening to others
- embrace the diversity of cultures and religions in our community
- respect individuality in the midst of community
