Dear Friends,

Welcome to Virginia Beach Friends School!

This is our 58th year of educating young people in the Quaker tradition – valuing each individual for his or her unique gifts and talents, as there is “that of God” in each of us.  Click here to read more.


Summer News

We are all looking forward to the Summer Break.  However, things do stay busy as this is a time to refresh and revitalize our campus. 

Summer Camps begin Monday, June 17th.  Please keep an eye on the website for links to summer reading and supply lists for fall!

Our biggest project will be the renovation of the Cottage.  As most of you know, the Cottage Program has been an integral part of Friends School from early on.  Cottage has served us well but it is time for a well deserved facelift.  Restoration will begin over the summer but it is expected to continue throughout next school year.  In the interim, the Cottage Program will move to the Fox Building with a classroom adjacent to Pre-K and easy accessibility to the technology located in the Kindergarten classroom. Stay tuned for updates! In addition to the Cottage, we will be sprucing up the Middle School and the gym.
