Friends Select School is proud to announce we will be hosting Gender Equality, the first of 17 public art murals spread across Philadelphia as part of the Global Philadelphia Association’s campaign to raise awareness about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

The Wellness Program presents adolescent mental health expert Anthony Rostain and family therapist B. Janet Hibbs, authors of The Stressed Years of Their Lives: Helping Your Kid Survive and Thrive During Their College Years. They will discuss their recently published book, which is intended to help students and parents cope with the stress and anxiety associated with college. 

“Our location at the intersection of commerce and culture in Center City means we bump into each other, we leverage chance opportunities to bring down the walls, and we work across boundaries to learn and solve with greater depth.” This truth, which is articulated in our strategic plan, Advance Friends Select, is one of the defining characteristics of a Friends Select education.

Please join Friends Select in welcoming the following new faculty, administrators, and staff to our community.

What a wonderful school year this has been. The theme, “In the City and of the City,” was a way to lift up and celebrate the decision Friends Select leadership made 50 years ago to recommit to Philadelphia by staying in Center City during a very challenging time for most cities across the country.
