Aims of Quaker Education

The following quote was taken from "What Does a Friends School Have to Offer," published by the Friends Council on Education:

"Quakers believe in strong encouragement of the individual. Each person has the capacity to be good, the ability to see the Light of God, and the ability to put that truth to good use. Thus, Quakers provide an exceptional and unique learning environment. Students who graduate from a Quaker school walk away with a strong sense of social understanding, skills to deal with adversity, tolerance and respect for others, and a strong sense of self-worth so that they have the power needed to succeed."

--- Graduate of a Friends school, 1994
