Opening in fall 2023, Phoenix Friends School is an independent school arising from the faith and practice of the Religious Society of Friends (also called Friends or Quakers) and built upon high standards that have long made Friends schools exceptional. In fact, many recent presidents have selected Friends Schools for their children. Quaker education pairs academic rigor with values-based learning while developing capacities in service, learning through inquiry and reflection, and conflict resolution through respect and listening. Students at a Friends school engage with the arts, science, coding and robotics, take part in hands-on service learning projects, are encouraged toward a healthy and active lifestyle, and develop deep connections with each other and the wider world.
All faiths and all practices are welcome. We are seekers. We are an inclusive school that values and embraces the diversity of cultures and religion. In fact, at Friends Schools the majority of students are approximately 95% other faith based and 5% Friends or Quaker.
