Similar to a semester-abroad in concept, the Woolman Semester immerses students in the studies of peace, social justice, and sustainable living on a 230-acre rural campus in Northern California. Project based course work and off-campus opportunities facilitate personal growth and leadership skills through self-exploration and an intellectual commitment to being an informed global citizen.
The Woolman Semester is the only semester studies program among Friends (Quaker) schools. Like all Friends schools, the Woolman Semester uses inquiry-based analysis and reflection emphasizing a sense of respect for, and responsibility to, the greater community. Quaker education is informed by the values of peace, equality, honesty, community, simplicity, and stewardship of the Earth. The Woolman Semester is named for John Woolman, an 18th Century Quaker abolitionist, who lived with utmost integrity to these values throughout his life. Woolman students and staff are asked to be authentic to our individual values and consider how we might live in greater integrity with them.
