About

Employment

Educators at FCS nurture lifelong learners, courageous risk takers, and joyous peacemakers through the expression of our commitments to Quakerism, Progressive Education, equity, and inclusion. Our progressive pedagogical approach emphasizes depth over breadth, creativity and innovation over memorization, and hands-on collaborative projects over rote schoolwork. Our curriculum engages students in the exploration of values rooted in our Quaker Heritage – simplicity, peaceful conflict resolution, integrity, community, equality/equity, and stewardship – from a range of perspectives. We also strive to create a learning environment that exposes students to the value and breadth of differences, informs their perspective, and prepares them to shape the world.

We believe that each and every employee contributes directly to FCS’s growth and success. Thank you for your interest in working at our school.
