Mission & Vision
We believe that every child has the right to a high-quality early childhood education. Students at TFS are creators and curators, using a museum approach to demonstrate their learning. As a museum school, our purpose is to set students on the path of life-long learning, equipping them with the academic and social competencies necessary for success in school and beyond.
Tools For Success
At The Friendship School, we follow a Responsive Classroom approach. In our school, teaching is comprised of a set of well-designed practices intended to create safe, joyful, and engaging classroom communities.
