Founded in 1931, Friends Council on Education (FCE) is the central hub for PreK to 12th grade Quaker education, uniting and supporting a diverse network of schools that share a deep commitment to the faith and practice of the Religious Society of Friends. As the only national organization dedicated to Friends schools, Friends Council champions their independence while fostering a shared vision of values-driven learning. By affirming the unique missions of each school, FCE empowers them to cultivate dynamic curricula, select exceptional educators, and create inclusive communities where students thrive intellectually, spiritually, and ethically. More than just a network, Friends Council serves as a powerful public voice for Quaker education—advocating for its transformative impact and ensuring that generations of students experience an education rooted in inquiry, integrity, and social responsibility.
