Hoping to make peace (or perhaps to retain the continued support of the rich trustee) the board voted to allow non-Quakers as members.
The early childhood program at Friends is strongly influenced by the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, which believes that all children are researchers, critical thinkers, and problem solvers.
The school offers lacrosse, soccer, basketball, girls' field hockey, track, and cross country for students in Grades 5–8.
The Paskamanset River runs along the campus's western boundary, providing a place for hands-on science and environmental lessons.
Children in this program have their own playground, which includes slides, swings, a sand play area, a stage, and large, mature trees.
