Friends School of Baltimore is a private, Quaker, coeducational, college preparatory school for students in pre-K through grade 12. As Baltimore’s first school, we have been rooted in enduring Quaker values—simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship—for over 240 years, which empower us to be progressive, inclusive, and forward-thinking.

A Friends education combines challenging academics with high standards of integrity, encouraging students to be curious, confident, and fully themselves. We believe in a balance between academics, athletics, and the arts. Our schedule gives students the time and space to explore academic interests and individual passions.

Our curriculum fosters critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and resilience. Students take an active role in their learning, discovering how to think, not just what to think. We believe great teachers teach the individual child in front of them, and we are committed to making every student feel known, supported, and challenged.

Grounded in reflection and driven by curiosity, our students graduate ready to thrive. When students start their journey at Friends, they’re prepared to go anywhere.
