	Sidwell Friends School: About SFS » Quaker Values
		Unlike many other Friends schools, Sidwell Friends School has never been "under the care of a Meeting." Its Quaker character has been the product of vital Quaker leadership—in the beginning from the School's founder Thomas Sidwell, and in recent years from Quaker Heads of School Robert Smith, Earl Harrison, and Bruce Stewart.
		And as good teachers grapple with improving the intellectual abilities of their pupils, they also work to provide a climate of sensitivity to the human condition, to ensure that our most personal gift, the gift of our minds, is used in a generous spirit for worthy goals.
		A good school’s overriding aim is to help each student respond to the best that is in him or her.
