An engaging environment hosting a strong foundation of traditions. A school setting where the child's innate desire to play mixes seamlessly with the teacher driven lessons. A teacher led lesson at Friends' can easily transport a student learner into self driven learning adventures. This school has a successful approach to developing the whole child as both a learner and a responsible citizen.

I have had two children at Friends. They are very different kids in terms of leaning style and social interaction. Every year, they had teachers who were able and willing to appreciate their strengths and help them to grow in other areas, all while remaining true to themselves. As a parent, I found support from teachers and a caring and engaged parent community. Both of my children have thrived in their post-Friends endeavors.

Our child is thriving academically (above grade level!), socially and emotionally at Friends School. Sending our kid to Friends has been one of the best decisions we have made for their education. The small class sizes, with 2 (sometimes 3) amazing teachers gives them the opportunity to differentiat...
