Parents play an important role in the school community at Friends Academy. Whether serving on the School Board, helping to raise funds for development projects, or chaperoning a field trip, parents are always welcomed and valued. Perhaps most important, Friends Academy recognizes the vital role parents play in the educational process. We value input from every parent regarding curriculum, after-school activities, and school policies and procedures. Parents are always viewed as partners in the educational process as we work together to build a solid academic foundation from which each student can grow and prosper.

School Board
The School Board is composed of Quakers from area Friends Meetings and of non-Quakers, most of whom are current or former parents. The School Board is responsible for implementing the mission of the school. It also has primary responsibility for strategic planning, for the financial health of the school, and for hiring and nurturing the Head of School. While the board has overall responsibility for the general well-being of the school, the Head is responsible for ongoing operations and the implementation of policy.
