Welcome to Individualized
Education and Lifelong Learning
Wellsprings Friends School is a place where the education of an individual student is as treasured as the interconnectedness of our community. An independent, alternative high school with a focus on creating lifelong learners, Wellsprings is home to a dedicated team of teachers that is fully committed to the academic and socio-emotional growth of each student. How truly fortunate we are to count accomplished musicians, folk artisans, conservationists, authors, researchers, martial artists and performers amongst our educators and administrative staff. At Wellsprings we believe in developing the entire student, we are unique in our approach and thorough in our pursuit of providing a quality education to the eager and capable youth we serve in our familial community.
