Dear Friends,
Stratford Friends School is excited to share the 2024-2025 Annual Report which reflects the generous support of time, talent, and treasure from our entire community.
This past fiscal year was an exciting one for SFS. We were approved to expand our academic program to include our new Upper School program which opened in the Fall of 2025. We enhanced the playground with new basketball court and Gaga pit which has made recess time so much more fun for all. Many of our classrooms received a fresh touch with new paint and flooring, and our new Upper School room now has student lockers and new furniture to fit our older students’ needs. Finally, new security cameras have been added to our halls to increase overall safety of our school.
Because of you, Stratford Friends School students continue to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Every donation to SFS truly impacts our students, teachers, and school! Your continued support not only allows Stratford Friends to make small changes during the school year but also allows us to plan for continued growth- for that I am grateful! Thank you for being a shining light to our school community.
In Friendship,
Jill Dougherty
Head of School
On behalf of the Stratford Friends School’s Board of Trustees, we are pleased to share with our school community the 2024-2025 Annual Report. Your commitment has helped our school grow, fulfill our mission, and carryout our Quaker values for which we are truly grateful. Your support is the reason SFS students continue to grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
Thank you for sharing your gifts with Stratford Friends! Due to the generosity of the families, alumni, business partners, and friends of the school, SFS continues to grow, improve, and expand our current programs. On behalf of the entire Board, we thank you for all you have done for our students and our school and appreciate and look forward to your continued support of SFS in the coming year.
As the Board reflects on the 2024-2025 fiscal year, we are truly humbled by the commitment of our students, their families and the faculty and staff of Stratford Friends to make our school the inclusive environment that accepts and celebrates the strengths and unique abilities of all.
I continue to be honored to serve this amazing community that does such great work educating our unique learners.
