INDEPENDENCE & EMPATHY
FRIENDS’ CENTR AL MIDDLE SCHOOL BY THE NUMBERS
Friends’ Central Middle School inspires and develops courageous leaders who think independently, work collaboratively, and learn joyfully. We transform eager, enthusiastic, and motivated elementary school students into self-aware, analytical, and empathetic eighth graders.
WHAT SETS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL APART?
The time and attention Friends’ Central Middle School teachers devote to encouraging, challenging, and supporting our students as individuals and members of the community sets us apart. Our teachers understand and delight in the opportunities and challenges that come with shepherding children into adolescence. The individual attention our teachers pay to their students’ intellectual, spiritual, and ethical selves enables them to thrive.
