- Our mission is alive when our middle school students tell us they are participating in the Climate Strike Student Walkout and some teachers and the head of school attend the strike with them.
- Our mission is alive when we observe insects and then paint what we see using watercolors. What do artists and scientists have in common?
- Our mission is alive when we are stewards of our community and environment by planting trees in Horton Park
- Our mission is alive when we join the One Voice Mixed Chorus (OVMC), Minnesota’s LGBTQ chorus, and perform in a mass choir with OVMC and other local middle school students. The performance explores the history of
music of the LGBTQ civil rights movement. - Our mission is alive when we learn from our children and see the scientist and artist and explorer in them.
- Our mission is alive when we see each child holistically when we nurture the physical, intellectual, spiritual, aesthetic, and social development of children. It is alive when we feel like we belong.
“At Friends School there was, and still is, a shared understanding that we are all worthy in our own way, no matter what. ”

Our Values
Quakers are committed to a set of values:
Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship (a.k.a S.P.I.C.E.S. values).
We are always examining what commitment to those values means.
“{FSMN} Thank you so much for giving me a fantastic education. You helped me grow as a person and made me more aware of injustice and privilege in this world.”
