Greenleaf Friends Academy is a private Christian school in Greenleaf, Idaho serving preschool through 12th grades.

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 facility consisting of classrooms, a gymnasium, elementary building, preschool building, cafeteria, athletic fields, and playgrounds.

It was founded in 1908 by a group of Friends (Quakers) as a college preparatory high school for the Quaker-founded community of Greenleaf, Idaho.

Junior High grades were added in the mid 1960s and Elementary grades added in the mid 1970s.

Local professionals, representing various Friends churches, other supporting churches and the Academy's alumni comprise the 11 member governing Board of Trustees.

Greenleaf Friends Academy holds affiliation with Associated Christian Schools International (ACSI), , part of Evangelical Friends International and holds state recognized school accreditation through AdvancEd.
