News & Noteworthy!

Tom's Kayaking Quest

This year, Head of School Tom Richards is connecting his love of kayaking with Goshen's need for an all purpose building.  Join him as he paddles 100 hours to raise funds for the new addition to campus.  Sponsor him as he paddles throughout the year (yes, in winter) toward his goal of $15,000--all to be used for GFS's needed construction.  Click here to follow Tr. Tom's Quest.  Tom's Kayaking Quest (pdf)

Watch Tr. Tom kayak!

Friendship Day

Goshen Friends lower schoolers welcomed students from Frederick Douglass Christian School for the 2nd annual Friendship Day on October 12th.  The morning was filled with song, sharing and fun!  There was also a little hard work, as Tr. Charmagne began preparing the students for their joint concert celebrating Black History Month at FDCS.  Click here to learn more!

Goshen Friends: Growing the Circle

See Goshen Friends School through the eyes of its students. A film by Justin Shipley, Emmy nominated filmmaker & Goshen Friends' parent.

Why Goshen Friends?

From mindful beginnings come global perspectives. In teaching our students to see goodness in everyone, we prepare them for the world outside of Goshen – to be caring, compassionate, involved, invested, curious, problem solving citizens of this earth.

Our Mission

Guided by the Quaker values of equality, integrity, simplicity, community, and peace, Goshen Friends School provides a strong academic foundation through a responsive curriculum and small classes to nurture joyful learning.
