A Values-Based Education
Quakerism's guiding principles are commonly represented by the acronym SPICES: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship. Each of these values shapes the curriculum and overall environment of our school community.

An important part of the school week is Silent Meeting, based on the Quaker tradition of meeting corporately in reflective silent worship, where the community gathers in silence to attend to the inner Light. The belief of Friends that individuals must find their own way leads to respect for the faith of everyone.
FSA’s educational program encourages children to grow into their goodness and gifts, not in competition with each other, but in community.
Embracing the unique ways in which each mind processes and understands the world enriches our collective experience.
Community lies at the heart of our beloved school, where every student, staff member, and family member is valued and respected.
The Friends School of Atlanta is committed to diversity and community far beyond the traditional practice of inclusion.
We believe in taking responsibility for the well-being of our planet and future generations.
