Wildwood School honors individual differences and creates conditions where all can feel safe, accepted, and empowered.
Commitment and Leadership
Our Commitment
Wildwood was founded on the premise of equity and social justice, and has a longstanding and respected commitment to the values of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
From our thoughtfully designed K-12 curriculum and student programs to faculty professional development, affinity groups, and signature programs such as the Multicultural Leadership Institute and Parent Multicultural Collaborative, we strive to integrate these values into all dimensions of the Wildwood experience.
DEIB Leadership Team
The DEIB Leadership Team, made up of specially trained faculty and staff, focuses on programs and policies that further the school’s goals. The team leads diversity training for all faculty to support them in effectively engaging students and other colleagues in healthy dialogue that explores diverse perspectives and experiences, deepens understanding and empathy, and helps transform misunderstanding into opportunities for learning. Team members also facilitate workshops at national conferences related to Wildwood’s work.
Middle and Upper
Multicultural Symposium: "Crossing Bridges"
Through nearly 30 workshops—led by students, faculty, staff, parents, and guest speakers—the community engaged in meaningful dialogue, sharing perspectives that challenge, inspire, and unite us at the annual Multicultural Symposium.
The biggest skill that I took from Wildwood was learning how to work with other people. It’s not just that we know how to work well with each other, but that we see the value in hearing diverse perspectives.
