What they do

A QUAKER SCHOOL-TO FOSTER IN YOUNG PEOPLE THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, and HABITS of MIND NEEDED to PARTNER WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES and to BE COURAGEOUS CHANGE-MAKERS IN THE WORLD. EDUCATION is A JOURNEY, A CONTINUAL SEEKING AFTER TRUTH THAT RELIES ON BOTH INWARD REFLECTION and OUTWARD CONNECTION WITH OTHERS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS LINES of DIFFERENCE. LEARNING is GROUNDED IN RELATIONSHIPS and DEEPENED BY APPLICATION to THE WORLD BEYOND OUR CAMPUS. GUIDED BY THE TESTIMONIES of SIMPLICITY, PEACE, INTEGRITY, COMMUNITY, EQUALITY, and STEWARDSHIP, and OUR CORE BELIEF THAT THERE is THAT of GOD IN EACH PERSON, and WE UNDERSTAND THESE TESTIMONIES and THIS BELIEF to BE A CALL to JUSTICE. WE VALUE DIVERSITY, PURSUE EQUITY, and STRIVE to BE AN ACTIVELY INCLUSIVE INSTITUTION THAT WORKS AGAINST SYSTEMIC OPPRESSION, WITHIN A CAMPUS COMMUNITY WHERE EACH INDIVIDUAL CAN LIVE OUT THEIR FULL IDENTITIES. WE SEEK IN ALL WAYS to EXEMPLIFY THE IDEALS of THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY of FRIENDS.
