Mary McDowell Friends School

Mary McDowell Friends School is a K-12 college preparatory program dedicated to the success of students with learning disabilities.

Grounded in the Quaker values of equality, integrity, and social responsibility, we cultivate a diverse and anti-racist community in which all students can reach their full potential. Our specialized teaching methodologies and challenging curricula empower students to become academic achievers, creative thinkers, advocates for equity, and contributing members of a global society.

Every day and in every class, our students receive the instruction and support they need to be successful. Educational materials, technology, and classroom furnishings are strategically developed to best facilitate learning for our students who struggle with language-based, sensory, and/or motor issues. The academics are intellectually challenging, the arts are outstanding, and the athletics are spirited, competitive, and fun.
