The Council helps Friends schools maintain their quaker identity and ethos, and their relationship with the religious society of Friends. The Council promotes professional growth for trustees, heads, administrators and faculty to further the goals of quaker Education and serves as a voice for Friends schools in the national dialogue on Education.
