From an FCS Parent
One of the dimensions of Friends schools that I most appreciate is the building of community through the recognition and embrace of each individual, and of each person's capacity for experiencing and sharing truth.
From an FCS Alum, Class of 2025
I cannot begin to express how much I have grown during my time in this community. I have learned how to make connections with people, how to take care of my environment, and how not to apologize for using my voice. The most important thing I've learned is to be kind to people unconditionally.
