After-School Music Faculty » Meet Our Staff

Our people make our mission possible.

We have spent over thirty years creating a healthy, vibrant culture among our faculty and staff. A strong group of talented adults provides the supportive academic and emotional environment for our students to thrive.

In the tradition of more than 80 Friends Schools across the United States, FSMN meets children’s intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs in an environment that nurtures their social consciousness. Our staff embodies our Quaker, Progressive approach.
