Westfield Friends School has been nurturing artistic talent for over 230 years. Now, we are reaching out to all our alumni artists to participate in a contest to design and create a mural that reflects our values and Mission. We are excited to see your artistic journey and your vision for the world we seek.

Westfield Friends School lights a brilliant path for children. As a Quaker school, we honor the Divine essence in every student; we find power and wisdom in our differences; and we seek truth through active, joyful, collaborative inquiry. Our graduates go on to lead lives of conscience and consequence.

The world we seek for our children begins here.
