Continuing revelation.
The idea that truths are revealed from diverse perspectives—or “continuing revelation”—is at the core of the work that happens each day on our campus and is a powerful part of Quaker Education.
Meeting for Worship
An essential element of a Quaker education is the role of reflection. We use reflection in our classrooms as well at our Meetinghouse. Weekly Meeting further strengthens and deepens students’ spiritual growth while building a sense of trust and connection among classmates.

Lower Schoolers showcased their research, creativity, and ingenuity to families and Lower School peers during 5th grade Inventor’s Fair. “Sharing their knowledge with authentic audiences reinforces students’ learning. You can see their confidence build with each presentation.”
