Final Notes
There is much more that could be said, certainly about colleges and universities, but we try to limit the length of articles here. Some information about current schools and developments is available from the following U.S. based groups:
- Friends Council on Education - an association of Friends elementary and secondary schools, mostly from the more liberal end of the Friends spectrum.
- Friends Association of Higher Education - an association linking American Quaker colleges and universities, and supporting Quaker educators in non-Quaker colleges and universities.
