Medford Monthly Meeting has an active First Day School which runs from September to May. 

Lower Group (non-reading): 2– 6 years

Middle Group: 1st through 6th grades

Upper Group:  7th through 12th grades

Each group is led by two Adults.

Our First Day School is on a 3 year rotating schedule:

• - Quakerism
  

• - The Bible
  

• - Community
  

• - Social Concerns
  

For more info. on our curriculum scroll down.

Our young people participate in the first half hour of worship, sitting with their parents and other adults in the Meeting house.  They depart to individual groups of instruction until 11:00.  The Upper Group's session is longer, running until 11:15.  Once a month we have school first, then go into Meeting so that we can hear the afterthoughts and announcements.  In the summer months, we offer informal activities, such as reading groups,  plays, interviewing Meeting members, or playground time.
