Sandy Spring Friends School

At Sandy Spring Friends School (SSFS), we pride ourselves on being more than just an educational institution. Our commitment to experiential learning and transformative education resonates throughout our preschool through grade 12 community in Sandy Spring. Here, students and teachers come together in a vibrant environment where exploration, questioning, and active engagement with knowledge flourish both inside and outside the classroom. When we asked our students to describe SSFS in one word, their responses captured the heart of our school: Adventurous. Interactive. Loving. Joyous. Peaceful. Caring. Safe. Special. Each word reflects the unique atmosphere that defines our educational environment. Spend a day with us, and you’ll witness these qualities come to life. A Day in the Life at SSFS As you stroll across our beautiful campus, the joyful sounds of students transitioning between classes will greet you. You’ll find students engaged in lively discussions and collaborative projects...
