Academics
Our academic program supports HFS’ mission and reflects our Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. It also strives to meet our students where they are and develop the whole child in mind, body, and spirit. Our academic program converges students’ skills and interests with innovative content and fundamentals, high-quality, caring and supportive faculty, intimate class sizes, engaging delivery, and research/best practices in education.
Ultimately, our hope is for students to leave HFS carrying the light of confidence, critical thinking, creativity, and stewardship into the next chapter of their educational journey, and we believe our curriculum continually strives to reflect this goal.
