Founded in 1994, Friends School of Wilmington is known for its academic excellence and strong sense of community. The Friends School educational experience is rooted in the essential Quaker principles of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship (SPICES). We believe the world needs passionate, lifelong learners who act with courage, integrity, and love.
Beginning as young as 18 months our preschool students engage in hands-on learning guided by the Montessori method. They synthesize letter shapes tactilely by tracing them in sand. They visualize mathematical concepts concretely by using manipulative materials. They analyze cause and effect by taking things apart and putting them back together.
