Quaker Education
Moses Brown is a Quaker school. Quakerism holds that there is an Inner Light in each of us. This belief yields a deep commitment to equality and community, and people of all faiths find resonance in the core human values at the center of Friends (Quaker) education and practice.
Quaker Education
At Moses Brown, we create an academic culture of deep reflection, expansive curiosity, and spirited inquiry by applying Quaker values every day.
Learning in Community
Learning at Moses Brown is a shared enterprise. We ask and listen respectfully, grant grace in the process of learning, and delight in the growth of others.
