We invite you to discover all that Brooklyn Friends School has to offer your family. In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, BFS embraces the power of a strategic approach—one that places student well-being, academic excellence, and meaningful social impact at its core. Our foundational pillars—Diversity, Equity, and Belonging; Global Social Impact; and Wholeness and Well-Being—fuel our continued growth as a transformative force in the world. Serving children from age 2 through 12th grade, our student-centered curriculum nurtures curiosity and exploration, while honoring the unique perspectives, interests, and abilities of each child.
For more than 150 years, our Quaker identity has been at the heart of our community. We strive to live out Quaker values—Peace, Integrity, Community, Simplicity, Equality, and Stewardship—in every aspect of school life. Generations of BFS alumni have carried these principles forward, using them to shape lives of purpose and impact.
Located in Downtown Brooklyn, BFS is home to students from throughout the five boroughs and offers bus service to and from most Brooklyn neighborhoods. Our Strategic Vision proudly affirms that all we do is for BFS, for Brooklyn, and for the world. We invite you to join us for a summer tour and experience the energy and depth of our dynamic school community.
