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.
Welcome back to school! For those of you who are returning, we look forward to seeing you after a long time away. And to those of you who are new to Friends Select School, welcome to the community. I’m sure you and your child will soon feel at home and among friends.
