A Report on DEI at Winsor

At The Winsor School, a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is central to our identity. It informs how we interact with one another in classroom and in community. It informs how teachers present material and the choices they make about the content of their courses. It influences the School’s hiring practices for faculty and staff, its admission outreach and decision-making, its behavior on the athletic field, the nature of its community events and gatherings, and its relationship with families and with alumnae. The School seeks to create a community where everyone is welcome and respected, where everyone can thrive. The commitment is pervasive; it is a matter of principle.
 
As a dynamic and responsive community, Winsor continuously evaluates and seeks to strengthen its diversity, equity, and inclusion work. The Lift Every Voice report is an outcome of that self-reflection. By collecting and synthesizing the practices, policies, and initiatives that exist in each department of the school, we sought a wider and deeper understanding of the totality of our DEI practices. 

As a reflection of the school’s efforts, it is necessarily a work in progress. Much remains to be done. We offer this report to share where we are and point to where we are going as we continue to create a truly welcoming and inclusive school community.
