Friends schools are institutions that provide an education based on the beliefs and testimonies of the Religious Society of Friends , known as Quakers. Friends schools vary greatly, both in their interpretation of Quaker principles and in how they relate to formal organizations that make up the Society of Friends. Most Friends schools are similar in their mission however: to provide an academically sound education while also instilling values of community, spirituality, responsibility and stewardship in their students.
