rooklyn Friends School was established by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1867. The New York Quarterly Meeting (NYQM) of the Religious Society of Friends owns the school building, assumes responsibility for the school’s obligations and employs the faculty and staff.

The membership of NYQM appoints a School Committee to provide stewardship of Brooklyn Friends School and to operate on behalf of the NYQM to further the school’s mission.

The School Committee can be reached at their voicemail, 718-852-1029, ext. 363.

School Committee sub-committees, which include School Committee members and co-opted parents, focus on specific areas of interest for the betterment of the school.

“The School Committee plays a behind-the-scenes role, but one that is absolutely vital to the present and future of our school. It reviews all decisions and policies in light of what will help keep the school successful for the next generation of students and parents. We are especially fortunate that the members of our School Committee, year in and year out, give so generously of their time and talents.”
