Overview

Mission

The american friends expects to achieve this goal by making grants to educational organizations and schools that promote these objectives and prioritize these issues.

What it reported doing in 2025

The american friends expects that a large portion, or all, of these grants may be made to the judy sharp foundation for the ultimate benefit of the study center foundation, a branch of the judy sharp foundation. The study center foundation was founded in madrid, spain in 1982 to serve as a private, independent, nonprofit alternative, co-educational day school for english-speaking students ages 9-19. The study center foundation is a highly specialized school specifically aimed toward creative capable students who experience difficulties in the standard classroom and require a strong, caring, supportive structure and personal guidance. Special attention is given to students with learning differences such as dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (add), hyperactivity disorder (adhd), and asperger's syndrome as well as other specific learning differences.
