who we are
As a Quaker school, we commit to teaching students their responsibility to serve their communities in meaningful and actionable ways. Our curriculum and daily practices with students instill a mindset of empathy, kindness and pragmatism, setting the stage for them to live their lives with a passion to make the world a better place for all.
Our Program
A Challenging Problem or Question
It all begins with a meaningful issue focused on one or more of the UN SDGs
Sustained Inquiry
Students engage in an extended process of exploration.
Authenticity
The projects offer real-world content, tasks, tools, and impact.
Cross-Curricular Connections
Students communicate through technology, art, statistics, writing, and speaking.
Reflection, Critique, and Revision
Students give, receive, and apply feedback to improve their process and product.
Action &
Service
Students make their work public through demonstrations outside of the classroom.
We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a blueprint for understanding and engaging with the issues that impact our communities today and in the future. Our students grapple with complex, real-world problems and learn to be active changemakers in their own neighborhoods and in the world beyond.
At Frankford Friends School, our students are passionate, creative, and concerned citizens who have strong leadership capabilities and are quick to find peaceful solutions to conflict.
