Unlike many schools, Friends Select tuition includes most fees for such things as trips, yearbooks, IDs, and more. This means that except for lunch and what you bring in your backpack, everything is included.

In lower school you don’t need to worry about packing a lunch. All lower school families participate in an inclusive food plan, which offers nutritious snacks and lunches for the year. Private (Friends Select) busing and an After School Program are available for your convenience at an additional cost.
