Scattergood Friends School Co-ed Boarding School Information:

Welcome to Scattergood Friends School

Scattergood has provided students from around the world with a college preparatory education since 1890. Unique in our approach, we emphasize living in community and are devoted to fostering the growth of the whole person. Rooted in Quakerism, the core values of simplicity, harmony, integrity, responsibility, and equality play out in everyday life. Students and staff alike endeavor daily to apply and integrate these Quaker values into the various school activities that occupy us from dawn to dusk. We hope that students come away with a deeper love of knowledge and a better understanding of themselves.
