We foster active exploration and quiet reflection, individual endeavor and collaborative engagement. Inspired by Quaker values—pursuit of truth, respect for all, peaceful resolution of conflict, simplicity, the call to service—we teach our children that it is possible to change the world. THE SCHOOL: HISTORY & ENROLLMENT Carolina Friends School (CFS) is an independent, co-educational Quaker day school founded in 1962 by members of the Durham and Chapel Hill Meetings of the Religious Society of Friends. Upon its founding, CFS became one of the first schools in the South to pursue a policy of racial integration. CFS graduated its first class in 1974. Today, CFS enrolls approximately 500 students in early childhood to 12th grade with approximately 175 students in the Upper School. Each year, approximately 97% of our graduates attend four-year colleges and universities, and 3% attend two-year institutions, travel, pursue public service opportunities, or directly enter the workforce. CURRICULUM CFS operates on a trimester system with graduation requirements that encourage students to balance academic, athletic, and artistic interests. By design, CFS does not designate courses with distinctions such as honors or Advanced Placement. EVALUATION The Upper School uses a non-graded, non-ranked narrative evaluation system that is personal and comprehensive.

Potomac enjoys an extraordinary reputation as one of the top independent K-12 day schools in the nation; the School enrolls 1,054 students on a spectacular 90-acre campus just minutes from Washington, D.C. Since its founding near Washington’s Dupont Circle in 1904, Potomac School’s educational philosophy has defined the learning process as an exploratory endeavor driven by students’ natural curiosity and interests. From kindergarten through 12th grade, Potomac faculty seek to develop engaged learners who possess both the intellectual abilities and the character traits needed to thrive in a rapidly changing and demanding society.
