Friends School of Baltimore was established in 1784 and is a coeducational independent Quaker school for children in grades pre-k through 12. Friends students develop a strong academic foundation and the skills to think critically and apply their knowledge to real-world situations. By creating opportunities for students to explore many different interests, and by actively promoting a culture of participation, inclusion, and empathy within the School community, Friends prepares its graduates to become confident, independent and multifaceted individuals. The world needs what our children can do.
