Your purchase and round-up donation goes directly to support the Friends School of Minnesota, a K–8 school in St. Paul providing progressive, Quaker-based education to over 150 students. Your support helps keep the school affordable for a wider range of families wanting to be part of our learning community. We have one of the lowest tuitions in the state, and we have increased our financial aid program by 34 percent this year (to one of the highest levels in the state). We believe that any student who wants and needs our unique approach to schooling deserves to be here, and your support helps us live up to that commitment. A Friends School of Minnesota kindergartnerusing Your support is also helping us grow, through the four “pillars” of our Strategic Plan: oil pastels in the art room. Equity: A consultant team is helping us rethink everything we do through an equity lens: curriculum, hiring, discipline, financial aid, admissions, culture... everything. Together, we are learning more about equity, diversity and inclusion, making our school community stronger for everyone. Learning Differences: Our new Learning Specialist will lead assessments, design learning plans, and support teachers to better understand and support the unique learning styles of our students. Quaker Identity: We are exploring how to more deeply live and teach our commitment to Quaker process and the values of peace, justice, simplicity, and integrity. Advancement: We are working to deepen our relationship with supporters like you through our quarterly Friends Circle publication, school visit days, social media, and (soon) a new website. This school makes a deep difference not only in the lives our students, but also in the world they go out into, and the support of a broad community makes this possible.
