I loved my time at Sandy Spring Friends School! I have been here since 6th grade and the community and curriculum are both wonderful. The only downside is there aren't as many people at the school though it serves to make the school a more tight knit community!

I have grown so much from Sandy Spring Friends School, I have made some many beautiful connections with both domestic and international students, and now have a very diverse background.
