Why Cambridge Friends School?

The Quaker belief in the innate goodness of each person, often referred to as the Inner Light, is the foundation of our faith in the worth and potential
of each student.

We nurture the special gifts and abilities of every student, while honoring excellence in all endeavors.

In our school, teaching and learning take place
within a framework of integrity, community,
equality, and peace.

Our curriculum is designed to stimulate creative inquiry and intellectual achievement, individual autonomy and concern for others, individual freedom and social justice, independence and compassion.

Our commitment to diversity and the examination
of bias is integral to our definition of academic excellence.

We believe

• good teaching inspires all students to work toward their highest potential

• learning is more than acquiring a body of knowledge-it is a process of inquiry and
  self-discovery

• the best education occurs in a diverse and inclusive community of children and adults working together in mutual trust and respect
