About
Brooklyn Friends School is a coeducational Quaker independent day school in Downtown Brooklyn serving Preschool through Grade 12, founded in 1867 under the care of the Brooklyn Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. The school enrolls roughly 700 students across its preschool, lower, middle, and upper divisions in a single building on Pearl Street. The academic program is informed by Quaker testimonies — simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship — and emphasizes inquiry-based learning, the arts, and a weekly Meeting for Worship. Brooklyn Friends offers a robust visual and performing arts program, competitive athletics in the ACIS league, and a senior project capstone in the Upper School. Graduates matriculate to a wide range of selective colleges including small liberal-arts colleges and major research universities.
