Diversity Mission Statement

Friends’ Central School strives to cultivate a community of diverse individuals who will be respected and affirmed as they engage in learning and other school experiences. We go further to create a community of belonging where members of FCS can bring their ‘whole’ selves to campus, embracing all identities; race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual identity, class, religion, ableness, family structure, nationality, and other social identities. We are engaged in an ongoing journey to confront and unlearn bias and racism personally and collectively to become a more equitable, anti-bias school. Fundamental to the Religious Society of Friends testimony and practice, we will embody our values through our policies, practices, and culture we build together. We call upon all members of our community -- faculty, staff, students, administrators, parents, trustees, and alumni/ae/x -- to join us.
