A Quaker school education is based on the beliefs and testimonies of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
Quakers embrace the principles of tolerance, equality and spirituality. They believe the Inner Light, or God, is in each of us. Quaker schools reflect these philosophies in the classroom, creating a learning environment that is flexible, challenging and understanding.
Each Quaker school has its own unique style and personality. However, they all have a common purpose: to provide a rich and rewarding education, and to foster community, spirituality, responsibility and stewardship.
At TQS, we follow the Quaker SPICES, commonly referred to as testimonies, as guidelines for how we want to be treated and how we should treat others. Our TQS community defines each testimony as follows.
Simplicity- Engage in the joys and challenges of the present moment.
Peace - Solve problems peacefully and collaboratively.
Integrity - Follow rules and be accountable for my actions and words.
Community - Be an active member of my school community.
Equality - Respect the differences of others.
Stewardship - Take care of myself and my environment.
The query prompts begin in September 2023 and end in June 2024.
