Why the Obamas Chose a Friends School

The Friends school world is abuzz with the news that the next First Family has chosen to enroll their children at Sidwell Friends School.

Take a few minutes to read this article on Time Magazine.com that does an excellent job of presenting the distinct philosophy and history of Friends schools: Why Sasha and Malia Will Go to Sidwell Friends.

Postscript, December 7: And read Obama Boosts Quaker Schools from the Daily Local News, which connects the Obama-Sidwell story to local Friends schools, including WCFS!
