Friends School – Elementary School, Boulder | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My twins are in their eighth year at Friends’ School in Boulder.  They have absolutely LOVED every year and are begging us to continue on into Friends’ middle school. At Friends’, each and every child is known and is celebrated for their own unique personality. Parents are valued as part of the community and are involved in the school’s rituals, traditions, and celebrations. We are invited to volunteer and to visit the classrooms. Friends’ learning community is hands-on and engaging. Our children are encouraged to stretch themselves academically, socially, and creatively. The students celebrate one another’s successes, and support one another’s short comings. Friends puts great effort into teaching social skills, from preschool on through the fifth grade. The students learn how to reach out and make friends in preschool, learn to play with a variety of classmates throughout elementary, and learn about expressing emotions, both at school and at home with their families. Discipline is handled gently and with respect for the child.  I can’t say enough positives about Friends’ School. Go take a tour and see for yourself. Our family recommends it whole-heartedly!
