My parents both went to Quaker schools and also my son and I were very relaxed at the interview as I really didn't think we'd get in. Lastly, I've worked in public service for the last 15 years so I think that helps when you're going to a Quaker school.
Parent #3
I think that some knowledge of or familiarity with Quaker history/philosophy/education was helpful.
