Friends Schools are educational institutions that are rooted in the principles of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers. These schools emphasize values such as simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality. They often promote a holistic approach to education, focusing on the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development of students. In Friends Schools, the curriculum typically includes a mix of academic subjects, arts, and community service. Students are encouraged to engage in critical thinking and collaborative learning. Many Friends Schools also incorporate Quaker practices, such as silent reflection and consensus decision-making, into their daily routines to foster a sense of community and respect.
