Friends School faculty and staff are an outstanding, highly educated group of loyal and dedicated educators who understand how children learn and develop. Our teachers work as a team, sharing insights as well as curricular goals. As a result, our curriculum builds comprehensively from one level to the next. Teachers have small classes, opportunities for professional development and the independence they need to design and implement challenging learning activities that reflect the abilities and interests of their students. Friends School teachers set high standards for students in every arena — and they truly want each child to succeed. They are committed to being accessible, to using dynamic teaching strategies and to connecting with students and their families both in and out of the classroom.
