Friends Community School

Located in College Park, MD on 17 acres adjacent to Greenbelt National Park, Friends Community School is a progressive Quaker K-8 day school, founded on the belief that every child is a valued member of our community. Now in our fourth decade, FCS is a purposeful and joyful school that engages and inspires young children through adolescence. FCS offers small class sizes, a diverse and inclusive community, a commitment to educating the whole child, and a curriculum that emphasizes inquiry-based and hands-on learning. FCS students are lifelong learners, courageous risk-takers, and joyous peacemakers who matriculate to rigorous independent, parochial, and public magnet schools in the greater Washington DC area.
