Our mission is to provide an inclusive, noncompetitive, student-centered, dynamic educational program where individual differences are respected and celebrated. Friends School accomplishes this mission by: Providing a nurturing, caring, and loving learning environment; valuing the uniqueness of each child; teaching tolerance, kindness and understanding as well as good citizenship and social values; encouraging family involvement; providing classes with a low student-teacher ratio to help meet individual needs; providing a highly individualized, developmentally appropriate program aimed at the whole child.
