School Notes Overview: |
"Friends Community School is a Kindergarten-8th grade Quaker day school with a strong sense of spirituality and a Progressive educational focus. We seek to nurture life-long learners, courageous risk-takers and joyous peacemakers.
We are dedicated to encouraging an atmosphere of tolerance and cooperation. We emphasize the Quaker values of equality, honesty, simplicity, community service, cooperation, and non-violence.
In keeping with the Quaker ideals that form the foundation of our school, we are deeply concerned with nurturing each child in a holistic way. We recognize that children learn and grow at different rates and we support them in their learning at individual levels, from mastery of basic skills to higher order thinking. To help each childŐs growth, we integrate individual responsibility and choice-making into the learning process." ...read more
