Friends Meeting School (FMS) is a learning community where all types of learners are appreciated, challenged, and given opportunities to grow. We subscribe to the Multiple Intelligences approach to education pioneered by Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, and our teachers use differentiated instruction to meet each student's needs and abilities. We serve a mixed population of students, serving a blend of gifted, average, and mildly learning challenged students.
Our vision is for our students to be competent academically, caring about the world, and courageous enough to try to make the world a better place.
Having a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and talents within our community is critical to the success of our educational program. We actively seek out diversity among our students and staff. We hope you will enjoy learning about Friends Meeting School and will come visit us in the near future.
