About Friends Meeting School
Authenticity is at the core of Friends Meeting School’s academic experience—we lift up what’s real. In true Quaker fashion, our community’s energy is warm, welcoming and sensitive to impacts on others and the world around us. FMS students engage in healthy risk taking and work through constructive discomfort.
We know that when you’re “seen” you feel the support necessary to turn these moments into impactful learning. Along the way, our students develop into curious and engaged scholars aware of their place in the world and poised to make a difference as they prepare for college and beyond.

Quaker Values
Why Quaker?
Our program is rooted in Quaker principles and practices. Quakers believe that everyone is deserving of respect, everyone possesses an “inner light.” They also believe that the truth (or “Truth”) is never revealed in a single moment; rather, it gradually emerges through experience.
Inclusive Community
Inclusive Community
Each individual has a voice--this is rooted in the Quaker belief that everyone possesses an inner light. We develop best when we exercise that voice and when we create space to hear the voice of others, especially when it represents a different perspective.
Friends of Nature
Friends of Nature
Nature and the outdoors play a vital role at Friends Meeting School. From our youngest students' regular hikes through acres of forest, to our upper school biology classes’ direct access to 7 unique biomes, science and nature intermingle at all levels of our K- 12 program.
