Guided by the Quaker testimony of Stewardship of the earth, Virginia Beach Friends School seeks to lead by example in creating a community that holds environmental awareness and responsible behavior regarding our environment as core principles.  We are committed to protecting our environment, and in both our teaching and our daily actions, we will consider the impact of our decisions not only on present and future Friends School students, families and faculty but also on the long-term sustainability of the earth.

After many months of research and study the present school location was addressed.  Discussion helped us to recognize we are being called to relocate.  We have received several unsolicited property offers and have been advised that a Capital Campaign is feasible.  With continued due diligence we are hopeful, that we will be led to a place that is accessible, vibrant and green.  Our intent is to continue the vision of the VBFS to exist in a location where the natural world is an integral part of the academic program.  This present land is a gift, which will enable us to continue to serve the school.  It will allow us to bring the Spirit of the school to wherever its buildings are.  Our primary responsibility is stewardship of VBFS, however it is also one of our strongest desires to have VBF Meeting accompany us on this journey, so that we continue to be an active service community.
