On January 29, Friends Select School is hosting a free virtual information session for anyone interested in teaching at our school and learning more about teaching in independent schools.

Check out the new online Friends Select School Store! We have stocked our virtual shelves with lots of new Friends Select gear, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, hats, accessories, and much more, available in a range of styles and well-known brands. 

When Friends Select students began the 2021–22 school year, they were welcomed with new learning spaces in the Parkway Building, thanks to the Advance Friends Select: Transformation Campaign.

Head of school Michael Gary pledged to make Friends Select an antiracist institution, and has since moved faculty and staff to join him in working toward the eradication of structures, systems, and policies—both within and outside the school community—that contribute to racism, biases, and white supremacy.

“We believe in the Quaker values of respect for all, simplicity, the peaceful resolution of conflict, and a constant search for truth.” When I read this segment of our mission statement, I reflect on how we are living it during this transformational time at Friends Select School.

Friends Select School is the recipient of a grant from the Gilroy and Lillian P. Roberts Charitable Foundation to support the creation of the Parkway Building’s new lower school art studio that will inspire students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade to further develop knowledge and appreciation for the arts and their creativity.
