The Friends Academy Office of Admissions cordially invites you to attend an Open House for prospective students and their families. Each of our three Open Houses, designed around our three divisions, offer the best opportunity to experience our Quaker approach to education one that is unique, transformative, and of the highest caliber. Meet our faculty, our administrators, including Head of School Paul J. Stellato, but most importantly, our students, as you tour our stunning 65-acre campus, located in the heart of the north shore of Long Island, just minutes from the metropolis of New York City. Here at Friends Academy, we believe education should do more than prepare students for college; it should inspire them to engage deeply with the world, act with integrity, and lead with empathy.
