At Germantown Friends School, learning is for life.

Education is the daily practice of transformation. Together, we embrace ingenuity and integrity, collaboration and innovation, gravity and grace. Together, we find the courage to ask; we possess the conscience to act; and we heed the call to awaken the world. Together, love and respect for each individual provide the premise for all that we do. We regard education not as training for a particular way of life, but as part of a lifelong process. We guide and encourage our students in their personal growth, instilling in them principles that Friends have long considered to have lasting value: truthfulness, simplicity, self-discipline, the resolution of differences without violence, and respect for diverse heritages and experiences.
