Application Information

Friends School of Portland warmly welcomes students who will benefit from our programs and instructional style and who will contribute positively to the life of the school community.

Our school is most suitable for children who are comfortable in a small setting and who will respond to a program that emphasizes both independent and collaborative learning. We seek families who support our Quaker values and our educational goals.

We are committed to building and maintaining a community that is diverse and inclusive with regard to race, ethnicity, gender, creed, family structure, and economic background, knowing that such diversity enriches all of us.
