Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
St. Francis Statement of Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Since 1985, it has been St. Francis School’s mission to provide excellence in achievement without exclusivity and to engage a student body that is integrated racially, ethnically, economically, and religiously. Likewise, we are committed to fighting and educating against racism, discrimination, and bigotry. As a community of learning, we will not tolerate racism. Especially as it hinders the emotional and intellectual development of our students and our community as a whole.
St. Francis continues to aspire to be an inclusive environment where all members of the community are nurtured to be their authentic selves. We embrace our differences, whether they be nationality, ethnicity, race, spiritual traditions, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ability. We believe as a community that we are continually called to strengthen our foundational values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. Thus, we are committed to building evolving structures and systems which provide a pathway to full participation and where each individual can recognize and grow into their full potential and be celebrated.
Beloved Community Circle
The concept of the Beloved Community is central to our mission at St. Francis School. It emphasizes fostering a profound sense of belonging, connection, and community among our students, faculty, staff, and families. The Beloved Community Circle works to plan events, create opportunities for learning/unlearning, and creatively address equity issues in the school community.
Excellence without exclusivity since 1985. St. Francis School is an independent, interdenominational school providing high-quality education to children from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.
