Rachel Webber has been the director of Summer Arts at Brooklyn Friends for the past eight years. With over 20 years of professional experience in the art and design field, two children of her own, and a great sense of humor, Webber knows exactly what it takes to create a unique summer experience for children. She says, "An art program for children should be just as sophisticated as one for college students; with fun being the operative word, of course."

BACK TO SCHOOL
Academics and ethical values are inextricably linked at our lower (Pre-K-4th grade), middle (5th-8th grade) and upper (9th-12th grade) Quaker liberal arts school. Content, foundational skills, and higher-order thinking capabilities are instructional priorities. Course content is always under review. We stress the development of writing and speaking skills as crucial for critical thinking and participation in public debates. Performing/visual arts as well as physical education/athletics are integrated into all levels of our educational program, encouraging students to become scholars-artists-athletes by exploring their potentials in all these areas.
