Welcome to State College Friends School!
It is with immense excitement that I welcome you to State College Friends School, a place where each child's unique light shines brightly. Here, we believe in a truly transformative education—one that goes beyond academics to nurture the whole child.
At SCFS, we are the recognized leader in values-based education. We invest deeply in each child's socio-emotional growth and identity development, while integrating dynamic academics that cultivate curiosity, critical inquiry, and a lifelong love of learning. This intentional approach, guided by Quaker values like equity, integrity, and peacebuilding, empowers students to become engaged and empathetic citizens. They build resiliency and nurture the confidence to become effective advocates within and for their communities.
Our vibrant learning community thrives on small, mixed-grade classes, ensuring that every student is known, supported, challenged, and nurtured by our dedicated faculty. These educators, supported by a collaborative administrative team, craft a cohesive, standards-aligned curriculum that resonates with diverse learners and perspectives. We’re not just preparing students to be mathematicians or historians; we're fostering courageous change-makers who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.
While our website offers a glimpse into the heart of SCFS, I warmly invite you to visit our campus. Come experience firsthand the power of a Friends education and see how we empower students to let their light shine.
In peace,
Pierre
Head of School
