Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Statement on Diversity

Guided by our mission statement, we affirm that inclusion and equity are essential to our caring community and exist as natural components of our educational program. Understanding diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives promotes the kindness, respect, and responsibility that we build in and beyond our classrooms. Developing empathy allows us to embrace our common humanity by respecting all individuals for who they are. Country School students are leaders and listeners who, through their compassionate actions, can change the world.
(We welcome you to read this National Association of Independent School’s document “Principles of Good Practice - Equity and Justice.”)
