The Quaker belief that there is “that of God” in everyone shapes everything we do at BiRoCAST.

We see it in the classroom, where teachers value the unique gifts that each student offers. We hear it in Meeting for Worship, when we listen deeply to those who feel moved to speak into the silence. We experience it in service to others, when we encounter worldviews and cultures that challenge our own.

Silent Reflection

Each week, all students and teachers gather together in Meeting for Worship, a time for quiet reflection in the midst of our busy lives. Although we meet in shared silence, any member of the community may choose to speak if moved to share a message.




In place of formal doctrine, students collaboratively generate guiding questions, or queries, as a means to examine their lives and measure their actions. Students from a wide range of faiths, as well as those without a religious tradition, gather strength from this communal time together.

Environmental Stewardship

The Quaker tenet of stewardship shapes the BiRoCAST community, from the design of our school buildings to the food our students eat each day. Our collective responsibility to care for the earth is instilled in students at all grade levels.
