Tuition
Scattergood Friends School was founded by Quakers in 1890 and continues to be guided by principles such as simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. The integration of these Quaker values in our curriculum provides a rich and varied set of experiences, bringing forth the strengths of each individual and preparing students for higher education and life-long love of learning.
We believe in meeting each student where they are and working together to expand knowledge, develop skills, and build confidence. Middle and high school students receive core instruction in social studies, science, language, and mathematics. Alongside this foundational coursework, students engage in a variety of humanities electives, visual and performing arts, and physical education classes. Additionally, Scattergood’s farm, pond, and restored prairie serve as living laboratories which further support the curriculum and enhance the learning experiences of our students.

Scattergood Friends School Reviews
it allows for a more self-paced, independent thinkers and better support of a students goals.
The emotional needs of students are addressed thru weekly reflective meditation ( Quaker meeting) as well as close ties to advisors. And since Quakers are generally mellow about doctrine , they provide for the spiritual side of people there without beng too religious. Overall a great school. Highly recommend it.
