EDUCATING THE CONSCIENCE TO ACT.
Fostering compassionate, critical thinkers who lead exemplary lives.
At Sandy Spring Friends School we question, we reflect, and we act on knowledge learned both in and out of the classroom in ways that foster critical thinking and empower us to make the world a better place. Our motto, "Let Your Lives Speak," expresses our philosophy of educating all aspects of a person so that their life—in all of its facets—can reveal the unique strengths within. As a Quaker School, underlying all that we do is a commitment to the Quaker values of simplicity, equality, honesty, respect, peaceful resolution of conflict, and community involvement. Our values-based education, paired with our strong academic program, allows our students to take what they learn and apply it in useful and meaningful ways.
SANDY SPRING FRIENDS SCHOOL IS KNOWN FOR:
- Students and teachers leading and learning together
- A dynamic, rigorous curriculum centered on real world questions
- Experiential education as Dewey envisioned it: relevant, applicable, and aspirational
- Transformation: You are a product of continuing revelation
- Creating a place of belonging for all our families
