Welcome, Families of Friends Academy!

The Friends Academy experience is built upon a deeply engrained foundation of community, one of our Quaker Testimonies. 

We are a community that looks for the best in all of its members and that celebrates the wide variety of gifts and talents they have to share. We are a community that encourages students to aim high, to try new things, to push beyond the known and safe to new levels of achievement, all within a strong network of support that helps students get up to try again when they fall. Students are free to fully explore their potential as individuals because they learn in an atmosphere of trust and respect. They form bonds of friendship that will last a lifetime.

There is also an interconnected community among the parents and caregivers at Friends Academy. Our Parent Council aims to strengthen our community ties by maintaining a close working relationship among parents/caregivers, faculty, administration, and trustees. All parents of current students are automatically members. The Parent Council welcomes families to volunteer and participate in its various activities and welcomes each opinion and point of view.

Our parents and caregivers are a vital part of our Quaker school community. Explore how our families learn more about Quakerism and their children's experience in a Quaker school in this video.
