About

Your support for Carolina Friends School today will allow us to respond to time-critical student and staff needs for learning materials, safety equipment, and teaching technology, as well as resources for an adaptive and culturally affirming curriculum.

It also helps to ensure the future for our learning community, where we aim to nourish each person's individual strengths and passions in service of creating a greater and more just world.

We are greater together!

Final Hours!

We officially made our donor goal! Wooohooooo! There's still time to have a gift of any size matched, thanks to a group of generous anonymous supporters. The needs this year are great, but our love for you all is greater!

Join the Movement with Aubrey Griffith-Zill!

Our learning community is so much more than a school nestled in the woods, or a group of individuals. It is a living, breathing force! Listen as Aubrey, alum, sometimes instructor, and Director and founder of Living Arts Collective and Durham Salt Cave describes the "intergenerational web" of support.

Carrie Huff on Support of Friends in Good and Tough Times

Part of being in community together means celebrating each other's accomplishments, and part means rallying around those in need. Listen along as former staff member Carrie Huff describes what Carolina Friends has meant to her, even in retirement. She means a lot to us, too!

Almost halfway to our goal!

We're not halfway through the 34 hours of Giving Day 2021, but we're almost halfway to our donor goal! And once we reach 250 donors, an additional $5,000 will be unlocked!

And we're off!

Over 100 community members have shown their love and care for Carolina Friends School through a Giving Day donation already! We know the pandemic has caused financial and emotional stress for many in our community. A gift, no matter the size, and help spreading the word about this $100 match opportunity to friends and family will help us reach our goal. We are greater together! 

We hope you enjoy this video of campus through the years — we still see inspiration, joy, and discovery in our classrooms (virtual and physical!) each day.
