safety net for children at a particularly vulnerable time of their lives. The trust and assurance of relationships allows children to take risks and challenge themselves to higher levels of social and academic excellence. I don’t know what greater gift we can give kids.”

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.

SELF-CONFIDENCE & INTELLECTUAL BR AVERY

Middle School children become bold thinkers when they are encouraged to try new ideas and take intellectual risks. At Friends’ Central, we champion trial and error, discovery, and intellectual courage in all areas of our Middle School curriculum. By doing so, we give students self-confidence and academic skills they need to succeed in Upper School and beyond.
