Menu Search Search Home > About GS > Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Unity in Diversity George School is committed to being a community where people with vastly different backgrounds, identities, and perspectives are united both in their respect for the unique gifts that each brings and in pursuit of a common good. We place a high value on diversity and on the ways that our convictions, both individually and collectively, are broadened, strengthened, and enlightened when we appreciate and respect a range of perspectives. This belief is reflected in the school’s motto, Mind the Light. OUR COMMUNITY Rachel encourages students and other community members to take a deep dive into understanding. LEARN MORE GEORGE SCHOOL INCLUSION STATEMENTS George School’s inclusion tenets articulate our intentions to be a healthy and engaged community. George School seeks to cultivate ethical citizenship in individuals and the institution itself. Rooted in the belief that all have a divine spark, the school aims to inspire a dynamic relationship between self-awareness and social cohesion. Alongside encouraging each person “to let their lives speak,” George School endeavors to equip those gathered here to be deep listeners—to others and to themselves. Adults and students alike are challenged to discover and embody what it means to be a neighbor to those down the hall, around the corner, and across the world. George School desires that the differences between people be a resource, that equity is a catalyst for equality, and that justice reflects the Light.

LEARN MORE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE PLAN As a Quaker school, we embrace the idea of continuing revelation, meaning that we are open to wisdom and truth as it is revealed to us. With that concept in mind, we invite you to read George School’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Plan for the 2020-2021 school year, to learn more about what is underway in individual divisions and departments, as well as future initiatives. George School will go about this work with humility, and with open hearts and minds, as we individually and  as a community ensure a safe, secure, and nurturing school environment for all. And like continuing revelation, this process and commitment have no expiration date, so we remain open to growth.
