Explore. Grow. Belong.

New Garden Friends School was founded in 1971 with the goal of educating children from differing backgrounds together in a positive, affirming, and safe environment.

We are a coeducational, independent Preschool–12th grade Quaker school, providing a values-driven education rooted in the enduring traditions of Friends education.

New Garden Friends School serves students across two campuses in Greensboro. 
Our Guilford Campus (Preschool–Grade 6), located at 1128 New Garden Road,  provides a nurturing environment for early childhood and elementary learners. Our Bob Page Campus (Grades 7–12), located at 2015 Pleasant Ridge Road, serves middle and upper school students with a strong academic and values-based program. 

Together, both campuses offer a continuous, independent Quaker education rooted in community, inquiry, and belonging.
 

HOW WE TEACH

We are a community of learners at New Garden Friends School where hands-on, experiential learning and a commitment to building resilience are central to our Quaker education.

Our Preschool–12th grade curriculum is developmentally appropriate at every level, with individualized support and challenge to help each student grow academically and personally. Service learning and outdoor education are core components of the NGFS experience across all grade levels, reflecting our values-driven, student-centered approach to education.

We Meet Students Where They Are

The commitment to honoring and developing each student’s unique gifts is at the core of the mission of New Garden Friends School. As a Preschool–12th grade Quaker school, NGFS prioritizes student social and emotional well-being alongside academic growth, ensuring a balanced, supportive, and developmentally appropriate educational experience.

Students receive individualized support and enrichment through personalized learning plans designed to meet their strengths and needs. These plans are developed by NGFS Learning Specialists in collaboration with faculty to ensure each student is both supported and appropriately challenged throughout their educational journey.
 

Community is our core

We are a school where inclusion, innovation, and respect shape everything we do. At New Garden Friends School, these values are not just ideas, they are lived daily through relationships, classroom practices, and community life. Rooted in Quaker principles and a Preschool–12th grade learning environment, NGFS is committed to creating a space where every student is known, valued, and supported. We believe that when diverse voices are welcomed and every individual is treated with dignity, learning deepens, creativity expands, and students are empowered to grow with confidence and purpose.

“Whenever someone asks me to describe my daughter’s school, I can answer easily in just one word: Community.”
