Alumni

Dear Virginia Beach Friends School Alumni,

We are thrilled to welcome alumni back to the Virginia Beach Friends School community as we begin our historic 70th school year! The campus is buzzing with excitement and our nearly 190 students, from our youngest learners to our 8th graders, are already diving into a year of academic growth and character development.

Our theme for this landmark year is "Roots and Wings". As we reflect on our start in 1955 and the generations of students who have graced our school, this theme beautifully captures our journey.

• Roots: Our roots are firmly planted in the Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. These principles have provided a steady foundation for 70 years, guiding our curriculum and shaping the compassionate, thoughtful students who attend Friends School.

• Wings: You, our alumni, are the "wings" and future of Friends School. Each of you has carried the lessons and spirit of the school out into the world, making a difference in your communities. Your achievements are a testament to the school's mission and a source of inspiration for our current students.

We have an incredible year of learning and celebration ahead, and we want you to be a part of it. Your connection to Friends School is an essential part of our story, and we invite you to reconnect and celebrate with us.

How to stay involved:

• Reconnect and network with fellow alumni by joining our official Facebook alumni group “Virginia Beach Friends School Alumni” and following our alumni page on Instagram @friendsschoolalumni.

• Share your story and let us know what you've been up to since attending. Recently married, relocated, landed a career you love? We want to hear how our alumni are shaping the world. Form below or send a note to [email protected]!

• Participate in anniversary events. We will have special events throughout the year to celebrate our 70 years of community and learning. Stay tuned for details!

• Support the next generation of students. Consider making a gift to the Annual Fund to support our mission to provide an exceptional Quaker education.

Thank you for being a vital part of the Friends School legacy. We look forward to involving and seeing our alumni as we celebrate our roots throughout this milestone year.

Warm regards,
Virginia Beach Friends School
