Friends School of Baltimore is a private, Quaker, inclusive, college preparatory school for students in pre-K through grade 12. Founded in 1784 as Baltimore’s first school, Friends has been guided for more than 240 years by the Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.

In a world where information is abundant but wisdom is scarce, Friends provides a human-centered education that prepares students to navigate complexity, work across differences, and lead with integrity. Academic rigor, reflective inquiry, creative challenge, and collaboration develop discerning thinkers who are prepared for college and equipped for life.

Students engage fully across academics, athletics, and the arts in an environment that encourages curiosity, independence, and meaningful exploration. Guided by exceptional teachers who know each student, they develop the judgment, confidence, and character to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

When students begin their journey at Friends, they are prepared to go anywhere.
