In 1786, Robert Murray, a prominent Quaker shipping merchant, left a bequest which provided a building and financial resources for Friends Seminary. Thus the School was launched. During subsequent decades, Friends Seminary has held steady to its course, offering an exemplary education of academic excellence within the context of Quaker values.
