OUR CULTURE

What Sets Us Apart?

We're a private school with a public purpose! What sets us apart is our amazing learning community where difference is welcomed and viewed as an advantage in everyone’s education.

We believe in learning through inquiry, reflection, and exploring a wide variety of perspectives and ideas. We're insistent on listening respectfully and resolving conflicts peacefully and compassionately. Whether you come from a different region, religion, or culture, you are always welcome here.

We're one of the 76 Friends schools in the USA, and we're proud members of the Friends Council on Education and NCAIS and are accredited by SAIS.

Facts about Quakers and High Point Friends

Our alumni have gone to do amazing things in law, non-profits, science/tech, education, and the arts.
Quakers practice peace-making and were among the earliest abolitionists, helping to build the Underground Railroad in this region.
High Point Friends Meeting was active in the fight for civil rights in the 1960s, and our school was created as an intentional space for all children to learn together.
