FriendsSeminary

Friends Seminary is the oldest continuous coed school in New York City.  Watch videos about life and learning throughout our community.

Friends Seminary educates students from kindergarten through twelfth grade under the care of the New York Quarterly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. In a community that cultivates the intellect through keen observation, critical thinking and coherent expression, we strive to respond to one another, valuing the single voice as well as the effort to reach consensus. The disciplines of silence, study and service provide the matrix for growth: silence opens us to change; study helps us to know the world; service challenges us to put our values into practice.
