The BFS Spirit

My life has been shaped by many things, but it is Buckingham Friends School that I have to thank for most of it.

— Student, class of 1996

It really changed my life to be in such an accepting environment as BFS, and I very much appreciate the hard work and effort made to make me feel welcome, in particular my teachers who went out of their way to make me part of BFS.

— New Student, class of 2006

We compliment all of you at BFS for the excellent work you do in preparing your students for high school. It’s been our pleasure to be part of the collaboration that then prepares them for transition to college and to their adult lives.

I can only thank everyone at BFS for continuing a truly remarkable academic/social tradition and for providing children like mine with the opportunity to know themselves and others in a way that is really quite rare these days. To take the time to understand yourself as well as to be sensitive and understanding toward those around you is a gift that enables not only the learning process but more importantly the application of that gained knowledge in a way which will make the world a better place for your having been in it. That is a gift that goes far beyond that which is provided in a normal educational institution and we are all very lucky for your existence. BFS is a rare and truly wonderful place.
