“We needed an opportunity to give our daughter a healthy environment to grow, and RFS aligns with our values. Lucy has built a lot of confidence and friendships at school, and we love that she gets to interact with younger kids which wouldn't be possible in a traditional school setting.”

- The Burkhardt Family

“With strong academics, hands-on learning, and high-level thinking, RFS's project-based approach acknowledges who the child is - what their strengths are, how to help them, and character-building that stems from Quaker principles. RFS has molded Ezra's passion for nature into a strength and helped him develop his compassionate personality.”

- The Sizelove Family

"The teachers at RFS are able to give so much attention to individual students, so they don't get lost in the crowd of a large class. I love that Garret feels safe trying things that he may be initially uncomfortable or nervous about."

- The Kirk Family

"Before enrolling here, Tristan struggled with dyslexia, which caused him to fall behind in reading. Thanks to the kind teachers and kids at RFS, Tristan is now reading at grade level and is beginning to enjoy it. He loves coming to school in the morning!"
