"We prepare students to engage in the world that is and to help bring about a world that ought to be."
IMAGINE a school where students are affirmed for who they are and who they can become, where academics inspire, challenge and engage, where community and giving back loom large, where students learn resiliency and the value of process, and where the community lives its mission. Imagine Friends Seminary!

As a Quaker school, and as NYC’s oldest continuously operated, coeducational school—now in its 238th year—Friends is distinguished by a legacy of intellectual vibrancy informed by Quaker values of integrity, equality, simplicity, community, service and peaceful conflict resolution. Optimism and a “can do” attitude resonate throughout the School. Whether grappling with a literary analysis, competing on the soccer field, or proactively supporting an important social issue, Friends students have the confidence to “go for it”, to problem solve and to push reset when needed. At Friends, the joy of teaching, learning and engagement is a palpable experience.

To learn more about Friends, we invite you to take a tour, join our events, connect with teachers and students, visit our website, read our social media posts, and experience the warm, welcoming and vibrant community of Friends Seminary!

Sincerely,

Nisa K. Bryant
Director of Admissions & Enrollment Management
