Non-Discrimination Statement

The Friends School of Portland is a company of learners who are guided by the Quaker belief that there is that of God in all persons and who are strengthened by the rich diversity of the world. To prepare our students for life and leadership in a complex and diverse world, we welcome students, families, faculty, staff and directors with differences based upon, (but not limited to) race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, family structure, and economic background. Consistent with the Quaker principle of equality, the Friends School of Portland admits students of any religion, race, color, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students. The School does not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, color, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, employment, financial aid programs, and other school-administered programs, except special consideration may be given to members of The Religious Society of Friends with respect to admissions, financial aid, and hiring of faculty and staff. In our classrooms, every child will be treated equally regardless of religious affiliation.
