Our Mission & Vision

At The Friendship School, each child is a masterpiece

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. 

Together we will:

  • Notice Deeply
  • Explore Boldly
  • Create Joyfully

Relationships are Key to a Young Child

TFS is a family. Staff, parents, and caregivers partner to ensure a child's educational and socio-emotional needs are met.

A Child's School Environment Matters

The TFS school environment is state-of-the-art, safe, and nurturing. It is rich in literacy, numeracy, and research-based teaching practices. Staff are committed to delivering the highest-quality experiences, so each child may grow into their very best self.

Children Work Together as Active Explorers

TFS is an inquiry-based school where emphasis is placed on a child's role in their own learning. Children explore materials that are of interest to them. Children are encouraged to wonder about their world, ask questions, seek information, and use that information to share ideas and solve real-life problems.
