Wilmington Friends School is a Preschool to 12 Quaker, college preparatory, day school located in Wilmington, Delaware. The school enrolls approximately 720 students and is currently seeking a College Guidance Counselor to join the College Office for the 2026-27 school year.
The school offers a college preparatory curriculum—including athletics, the arts and community service—in which Quaker values and high expectations are mutually supportive. The defining belief of Quakerism is that there is “that of God” in everyone. That belief gives rise to a school community that welcomes a variety of faith traditions and where we share an obligation to seek and answer what is best in ourselves and in others.
Students at Friends are challenged to realize their potential: as learners, well-prepared to succeed in college and career; as leaders, recognizing their power and opportunity to be agents of change; and as active and responsible members of communities, from the classroom to the world.
The school seeks to serve students, ages two through grade twelve, who demonstrate ongoing promise in their ability to succeed at Friends, both academically and in meeting expectations for integrity and conduct. Wilmington Friends School is an International Baccalaureate world school and offers the Diploma Programme in grades 11 and 12. All teachers are expected to participate in the preparation of our students for this international standard.
