As a student at CFS...

When I am asked what is "Quaker" about our school, the first thing that pops into my mind is settling in. Settling in and meeting for worship are probably the most noticeable things that make us a Quaker school, and they are one of the first things I make sure to mention to those new to the Quaker community, but the Quaker philosophy at CFS is so much more than that. The Quaker philosophy at our school can't be defined by just those 15 minutes of silence at the beginning of each day.

CFS does not send home report cards. Instead, the teachers write end-of-year evaluations for each student in each of their classes. The evaluations are usually almost a page long. It's a lot of writing once you add it all up. They do this because CFS knows that it's more meaningful to get full recognition for what you done well, and explanations of what could be better.
