About Friends Meeting School
Authenticity is at the core of Friends Meeting Schoolβs academic experienceβwe lift up whatβs real. In true Quaker fashion, our communityβs 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 youβre βseenβ 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 βinner light.β They also believe that the truth (or βTruthβ) 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
