[edit] NOTE

I changed some school's category because they are no longer affiliated with Meetings of the Religious Society of Friends. I don't have much experience with editing pages but I thought this was a significant distinction.

[edit] Invitation to wikicity

[edit] Divisons

Some schools are in the wrong categories. Some of the colleges are no longer affiliated with a meeting. Also, the heading Prep/Boarding schools is not very Quaker. I propose dividing the category into boarding school and day schools.

Generally when I've worked on this listing I've tried to use the school's self descriptions as a guide. So for colleges I used labels that they use on their sites (generally: "in the Quaker tradition" = Not Quaker, "Quaker Education" = Quaker). The Day/Boarding school division is not a clean one, there are several schools that are both (George School and Westtown for example have both). Several of the schools identify themselves as Prep (Moses Brown I believe would be an example), so I'd leave that heading. But if you think you have a better system I'm happy to see improvements. --Ahc 14:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing non-wiki links

My feeling is that we should remove the external links from this page. School's that have pages, should probably have their web pages linked from their article, but this page should be seen as a directory within Wikipedia for finding articles or information about Quaker schools in general; information about any particular school should be in the appropriate place. Thoughts? --Ahc 05:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Due to a lack of other thoughts, I'd gone ahead and done this. --Ahc 04:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
