Bruce Stewart and A Friends Education
November 18th, 2009 Categories: About Charlotte, Charlotte Schools and Education
Last night my wife and I attended a reception for Bruce Stewart, the former Head Of School for Sidwell Friends in Washington DC, a well regarded private school that’s best known for the President’s children who attend, including President Obama’s.
Bruce spoke in support of the Friends School of Charlotte, a K-3 private school in the Friends tradition. What sets a Friends Education apart? Respect for each student, “a spark of the Divine that is in each child,” Peace, Compassion, Justice, Equity, Service- the Quaker tradition of teaching children to question authority and to think… Giving a child’s natural curiosity and creativity room to grow, nurtured and developed daily, is part of the Friend’s School of Charlotte’s daily mantra.
These are values that can make American education great again. Visit the Friends School of Charlotte online or in person704.567.9445 Watch for Bruce as he speaks about a National Teachers Academy, and the need for private school vouchers so that every American child has the same chance. I’ll have an interview with the Head of School in the coming weeks. tm
