The Society of Friends originated in England and follows the teachings founded by George Fox in the 17th century. George Fox led men and women who were dissatisfied with the existing denominations of Christianity, vying for teachings which allowed more diversity and less rigidity in hierarchical structure.
The boarding schools seek to share these teachings while at the same time providing the same quality academic subjects as other institutions. Schools seek to shape students into responsible members of society and preparing them for life ahead.
The following features are common to Society of Friends boarding schools and form part of our structure:
- Classes teaching traditional academic subjects such as Mathematics, History, Sciences, Chemistry and Humanities, among others.
- An educational system that places emphasis on teaching students to be responsible members of society, as well as on quality of education.
- Educational tours, excursions, and extra-curricular activities to enrich the experience of students who enrol.
- A complete set of facilities for students staying on campus. We take particular pride in our libraries, which are of high quality and are perfect for daily research and extra study.
