Sidwell Friends School is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of ethical leaders. Young minds aren’t just educated, they are guided with purpose. Curiosity sparks innovation, compassion fuels action, and dreams forge a brighter future. A diversity of experiences, points of view, and life aspirations create a dynamic environment for new ideas to emerge. 

As part of a comprehensive campaign, the annual support of The Sidwell Friends Fund supports the School’s highest priorities including financial aid, faculty professional development, and engaging student experiences. Sustained support of The Sidwell Friends Fund allows us to extend and enrich learning beyond what tuition alone can provide and ensure the continued excellence in our educational programs.
