About Olney

Mission: Olney Friends School provides a transdisciplinary, college-preparatory curriculum within a supportive community that enables students to develop the skills to care for and thrive in a changing world.

Olney Friends School is an ISACS accredited, progressive, co-educational boarding and day school for grades 9 – 12, located in Barnesville, Ohio. It is also a member of the Friends Council on Education (FCE), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Ohio Association of Independent Schools (OAIS), and The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS).

Olney Friends School is a unique college preparatory educational institution that leaves a deep and lasting impression on students, alumni, families, staff, and other stakeholders. Our 350-acre farm provides much more than the organic food served at meals; it provides the basis for exploring such questions as “what is knowledge?” and “what does it mean to be a global citizen?” Global stewardship, intellectual curiosity, and environmental sustainability characterize the Olney experience. Throughout Olney Friends School’s 184-year history, farming, farm-to-table, and stewardship concepts have grown organically from its Quaker heritage and form an integral part of its curriculum. The Quaker SPICES (Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship) anchor the school.

Olney Friends School is a 501(c) (3) and an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
