Friends School of Wilmington

Friends School of Wilmington is a preschool-8th grade independent school rooted in Quaker values that is dedicated to fostering a lifelong love of learning and a drive to act always with courage, integrity, and love. 

At FSW, our educational mission is grounded in a sustained commitment to academic excellence and ethical character; a learning environment where students are equipped to lead lives guided by curiosity and kindness, wisdom and empathy. Starting in our Montessori preschool classrooms, we empower children to explore the world around them through creative, hands-on discovery. Our Lower and Middle School students develop as self-confident critical thinkers who solve problems with authenticity, adaptability, and collaboration.

Our teachers and administrators are the best of the best, the majority of whom hold postgraduate degrees. Through an innovative, robust curriculum that draws upon experiential and service-learning principles, we help each child reach their highest individual potential. This work is supported by first-class campus facilities, like our multi-acre Longleaf Center for Environmental Learning, our Lower School EdTech classrooms, and our Middle School 1:1 Chromebook program.

A joy to seek knowledge, a drive to lead courageously, and a love to build community — This is Friends School of Wilmington.
