Learning is a fundamental testimony at Mary McDowell Friends School. Learning influences all that we do in our community. The idea that every student, given the proper instruction, can learn and excel resonates with the Quaker belief that the light resides in each and every one of us. It is incumbent on the individual as well as the community to let that light shine.
Students arrive at MMFS with any number of learning challenges and are supported, nurtured, and guided to be the best students that they can be. Teachers are consistently challenged to be the best instructors they can be so that they can comfortably guide their students throughout each school year. Parents learn about their child’s strengths and struggles and about our educational philosophy. Administrators and Board members undertake to learn how best to execute the mission of the school.
