Our previous silent auction raised over $160,000 for our Adjustable Tuition program, which affords high-achieving, low-income students access to a Friends education. Donations like yours help make an exceptional, values-based education a reality for children in San Francisco, regardless of financial constraints. At Friends, we recognize that academics alone do not serve the whole person, they need to be balanced with attention to a child's capacity for independent thought, creativity, and reflection. The daily life of our school is rooted in the Quaker values of simplicity, integrity, mutual respect, peaceful problem solving, and service to others.
