  STATE COLLEGE FRIENDS SCHOOL

Our Mission

State College Friends School provides an academically vigorous education in a nurturing environment that inspires a love of learning and prepares students to meet challenges with confidence and compassion.  Guided by the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, we support the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development of each child.

Education Rooted in Quaker Values

 Members of the Religious Society of Friends, often known as Quakers, believe that there is a light within each of us that deserves our loving attention.  The Quaker testimonies of equality, integrity, and peacebuilding guide everything we do - from curriculum development to progressive pedagogy to nurturing strong connections between our families and life at school.

​
​Our values and passion for learning translate to an academically stimulating, vibrant, nurturing and inclusive school community built on a foundation of respect and genuine concern for all.  Through a curriculum that integrates diverse subjects, communication skills, and service learning, students develop their understanding of the world around them and the ways in which they can take positive actions within it.
