Greenleaf Friends Academy exists to provide quality Christian education which equips each student spiritually, academically, socially, and physically to be an effective ambassador for Christ.
Christian schooling is an investment in your young person's future. At Greeenleaf Friends Academy (GFA), we not only prepare students for college, but for a life that will bring glory to God. Our students learn that with God's power and grace -- whether they experience success and joy or encounter adversity and disappointment -- they can confidently face every situation.
Founded in 1908 by the same group of Friends (Quakers) who founded the community of Greenleaf, Idaho, Greenleaf Friends Academy is known throughout the Northwest for its academic excellence, outstanding music and athletic programs, and uncompromising Christian values.
Located in the tranquil Boise Valley just 6 miles west of Caldwell, the Academy has grown over the past century from a one-room schoolhouse into a beautiful, modern facility consisting of fine classrooms, gymnasium, elementary building, preschool, cafeteria, athletic fields, and playgrounds to accommodate the needs of our students. Our student body represents over 50 different churches from throughout the Boise Valley and as far away as southeastern Oregon.
Today the school ( which includes preschool through 12th grade) is incorporated and governed by a Board of Trustees representing various Friends churches, other supporting churches and the Academy's alumni. Our alumni are in the thousands and are spread throughout the continent and overseas as pastors, missionaries, professionals, teachers, businessmen, and church laymen.
GFA serves families who desire the integration of their children's education with the Christian faith and is supported by tuition and gifts made primarily to the operating funds and endowment via annual gifts, memorials, and bequests from our constituency.,
