Friends Community School: Space Available in Select Grades

Exploring school options?

Check out Friends Community School. FCS still has a few spaces available in select grades for the upcoming school year (Fall 2025), and will kick off the 2026-2027 admissions process in September. If you are interested in considering FCS for your child, contact the Admissions Office or submit an inquiry to learn more.

Friends Community School is a K-8 Quaker progressive school that engages and inspires young children through adolescence. Located on 17 acres in College Park, FCS offers a diverse, welcoming, and inclusive community, a commitment to educating the whole child, and a curriculum that emphasizes child-centered and hands-on learning. At FCS, students are respected as individuals, childhood is celebrated, and learning is experiential, relevant, and meaningful. FCS students are well on their way to becoming lifelong learners, courageous risk-takers, and joyous peacemakers who matriculate to rigorous independent, parochial, and public magnet schools.

On any given day at FCS, you’ll witness the many ways learning and growing happen inside and outside the classroom. Kindergarten students might explore story elements through puppet show performances, dive into math while baking pumpkin muffins and managing an imaginary veterinary clinic, or discuss wants and needs while designing their own outdoor classroom. Others in the Lower School spend time exploring civics and activism, research prominent historical figures and peacemakers, or learn about the guinea fowl that roam the grounds. Middle Schoolers, meanwhile, might do a deep-dive into place and geography, hone their annotation, writing, and presentation skills, discuss the importance of digital citizenship, or calculate speed and acceleration in one of our science labs.
