At Friends Academy, being a Quaker school is not about religious affiliation or doctrine. Rather, our Quaker foundation informs a set of enduring values—simplicity, integrity, respect for each individual, and a deep sense of community—that shape how we teach, lead, and care for students. We welcome families of all faiths and backgrounds, and students are never asked to adopt Quaker religious beliefs or practices.
We believe in meeting families with openness and clarity as they explore whether Friends Academy is the right fit. The guide we offer is simply a way to gather this information in one thoughtful resource and deliver it to your inbox for easy reading. If you prefer to explore at your own pace, we’ve also shared several articles that address common questions and misconceptions about Quaker education:
We hope you find this resource helpful as you explore what a Quaker education means for your family!
