5. Guilford College Information
Guilford College is a liberal arts school in Greensboro, North
Carolina providing tomorrow's leaders with the innovative
problem-solving skills, experiences, and global perspectives to
actively create change in the world. We are guided by our
Quaker heritage, instilling in all of us: community, equality,
integrity, peace and simplicity.
Guilford’s longstanding mission is clear and distinctive: to provide
a transformative, practical and excellent liberal arts education
that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse
environment, guided by Quaker testimonies of community,
equality, integrity, peace and simplicity and emphasizing the
creative problem-solving skills, experience, enthusiasm and
international perspectives necessary to promote positive change
in the world.
In 1837, Guilford College opened as New Garden Boarding
School, an institution intended to serve the children of the
Religious Society of Friends living in and around Guilford County,
N.C. New Garden Boarding School provided a “guarded”
education, one in which children of Friends could be formed in
an environment shaped by the Quaker testimonies. The first
students at the school used the “thees” and “thous” of Quaker
plain speech, dressed plainly, worshiped in the silence of the
Quaker meetinghouse and were schooled in the simple truths of
the Bible and the Quaker community. As Quaker society
changed and the school grew into a less separated and more
diverse college, Guilford constantly interpreted and
reinterpreted what core Quaker testimonies were important in
its life.
