Our goal is for every member of our extended school family to be empowered by a shared sense of belonging.
Wildwood DEIB Programs
Throughout the year, Wildwood hosts a number of DEIB programs for students, faculty and staff, families, and our extended Los Angeles community.
Families of BIPOC Students Back to School Gathering
Hosted by the K-12 PMC Special Events DEIB Leadership Team and in partnership with the Wildwood Parent Organization committee, Parent Multicultural Collaborative, this annual gathering is a chance for families of BIPOC* students of color to gather before the school year, find community, make friends, and celebrate the start of a new year.
*The National Association of Independent Schools defines “BIPOC” as those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color.
Multicultural Community Dialogue
The Multicultural Community Dialogue is an annual conversation around important topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion currently relevant in our country. Facilitated by the school's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Leadership Team (DEIBLT), its purpose is to deepen our community’s understanding of the experiences of people of color in our nation's history, as well as offer strategies for empowerment, action, and anti-racism.
First Generation College Counseling Program
While discussions of college primarily take place in 11th and 12th grade, the First Generation College Counseling Program, intended for students who are the first in their families to attend a U.S. college or university, begins in 9th grade in order to maximize their academic success, encourage their extracurricular involvement, and assist with the unique challenges and questions they may have about the college experience.
