A co-educational Quaker day school, founded in 1788, enriching the lives of students in Preschool through 8th grades.
Westfield Friends School develops students to their fullest potential by focusing on active, project-based learning grounded in Quaker values providing a nurturing environment for students to be creative and independent thinkers. Our emphasis on hands-on learning brings academics to life for children and facilitates the joy of discovery that we feel marks a life-long learner.
From Preschool through 8th grade, our students grow in knowledge and are filled with the best qualities of mind and spirit: simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. Within our community of learners, our faculty strives to bring out each student's individuality, working to develop creative thinkers, problem solvers, peacemakers, and humanitarians who will contribute compassionate, responsive, and responsible leadership throughout their lives.
Our students come from diverse backgrounds of ethnicity, family makeup, gender identity and expression, learning ability, physical ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. We, as a Friends School, believe that there is that of God in every person. Therefore, we practice and teach respect, affirmation, and protection of the dignity and worth of each member of our community and the world at large.
Westfield nurtures self-confidence. Within Quakerism, we believe that Truth may come from any member of the community; the speech of the youngest child is given the same respect as the speech of an adult. Students mature into attentive listeners to those they are with, reflective thinkers, and accomplished communicators ready to speak their truth.
