Teaching a new generation of compassionate citizens
Our approach to learning draws families from across Philadelphia who seek both academic excellence and a deep sense of community.
At Frankford Friends, we teach students to think critically, act with empathy, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
Grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and responsibility, our program empowers students to engage thoughtfully and thrive as compassionate, active members of their communities.
Rooted in the practice of Quaker values, Frankford Friends School nurtures the mind and spirit of every student in our diverse community. Our students and graduates let their lives speak in the pursuit of lifelong learning, commitment to social justice, and service to their communities.
The beliefs that shape student
life and learning
We nurture strong minds, bodies, and relationships by building habits that support well-being, emotional awareness, and personal growth.
We recognize our responsibility to others by seeking understanding, taking meaningful action, and caring for people and the planet.
We develop the skills to think critically, speak up with confidence, and create purposeful change in our communities.
We create a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported as their full selves.
We resolve conflict with empathy, patience, and creativity, strengthening our community through thoughtful collaboration.
