Explore. Grow. Belong. 

Step into our classrooms, wander onto the playground, or feel the energy in the courtyard, and you'll quickly discover what makes New Garden Friends School so special. Here, students are encouraged to explore their interests, grow into confident learners, and find a true sense of belonging.

Curiosity is sparked every day through hands-on learning, thoughtful discussion, creative expression, and meaningful relationships. Whether students are building forts in the woods, tackling a challenging math problem, performing on stage, competing on the court, or engaging in conversations about the world around them, they are supported and encouraged to discover who they are and who they can become.

At NGFS, learning goes beyond academics. We nurture each student's unique gifts, helping them develop the confidence to ask questions, the courage to take risks, and the empathy to connect with others. Our community is one where students are known, valued, and empowered to contribute in meaningful ways.

We invite you to experience firsthand how students at NGFS explore boldly, grow purposefully, and belong fully.

"I tell our friends and neighbors that NGFS is unlike any school I’ve ever experienced. The emphasis on Quaker values is evident in every aspect of life at NGFS—from the way students interact with their teachers to the school’s approach to conflict resolution among peers, the focus is on respect and valuing each child for their own unique gifts."
