Description

William Penn envisioned a society dedicated to non secular toleration, participatory government, and liberty. Central to this Holy Experiment was once his belief that each one children deserved a moral education. In 1689, Penn established a Friends Public School within the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Through the years, many Quakers have been in a similar way inspired, and lately there are 81 member schools within the Friends Council on Education operating in 22 states. This book includes images from the 10 Friends schools founded in or near Philadelphia before the twentieth century: Abington Friends School, Frankford Friends School, Friends’ Central School, Friends Choose School, George School, Germantown Friends School, Greene Street Friends School, Plymouth Meeting Friends School, William Penn Charter School, and Westtown School. Philadelphia Friends Schools tells the photographic story of an educational philosophy rooted in three centuries of religion and practice.
