How is Quaker education different from any other educational program?
At Friends Schools, the emphasis is on critical thinking skills. Work on individual skills and knowledge is balanced with group learning, in which each persons unique insights contribute to a collective learning. Quakers believe in strong encouragement of the individual. Students who graduate from a Quaker school walk away with a strong sense of self. They are better prepared to deal with adversity and they understand the need to promote harmony in their quest for knowledge. Students are challenged to develop inner resources for discipline and achievement. Each students gifts and talents are honored.
