Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

As a French-American school, we celebrate the unique blend of identities, experiences, and perspectives within our community. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion reflects our belief that embracing all dimensions of diversity enriches the educational experience and equips our students to thrive as compassionate, informed global citizens.

Community Engagement

Strong community partnerships and meaningful engagement are key to creating a dynamic, inclusive, and globally minded learning environment. Through collaboration with families, faculty, staff, local organizations, schools, and cultural institutions, we extend learning beyond the classroom, offering students, educators, and families opportunities for dialogue, service learning, and cross-cultural exchange locally, nationally, and internationally.

DEI Council & Committee

The DEI Council was established in 2016 by faculty members to foster a more inclusive, equitable, and culturally responsive school community. Composed of faculty and staff, the council develops initiatives, provides resources, and guides conversations that advance DEI principles within the school. The council works with school leadership, affinity groups, and the Board of Trustees’ DEI committee to drive meaningful and sustainable progress.
