Our Mission:
Guided by our Quaker principles, Friends Academy educates our students to discover and develop the best of who they are and who they can become.
Our Belief Statement
We achieve educational excellence by committing to the highest standards of learning and living.
Our diverse and welcoming community is strengthened by our Quaker values, which empower our students to inquire, reflect, and engage in their classrooms, in their neighborhoods, and in the world.
Because when we inspire students to learn and live with purpose, they achieve greatness without sacrificing goodness.
