Trustees

Friends Select School is under the care of two Meetings of the Religious Society of Friends, Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting (Race Street) and the Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia (Arch Street). The school is managed by a 28-member Board of Trustees. Each Meeting appoints half of the Trustees--eight are members of that meeting and the other six are at-large.
