Philosophy
Friends together was founded upon the principles that children grow and learn in a warm, supportive, diverse and mutually respectful environment. The Friends Together community is a community of teachers, parents and students who are committed to the well-being, happiness and education of each child. We believe:

- a culture committed to community service, leadership and character development increases awareness and self-esteem
- an intentionally small class size provides opportunities for each child to maximize potential within a rigorous academic program
- a strong emphasis on organizational skills beings in the early years
- in a teacher directed, child-centered structured and well-balanced curriculum
- that a solid foundation in reading, writing, math, science and language is the basis for successful lifelong learners
- in developing lifelong nutritional habits
