All community members have the right to feel safe and secure and know that their individual differences are welcomed and appreciated. These include differences of age, ethnicity, family makeup, gender identity and expression, language, learning ability, nationality, physical ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Diversity is vital to the mission of FIS of developing socially responsible and internationally minded citizens.
The Board of Trustees and administration, together with the FIS community, will define, foster and sustain an inclusive, equitable and just environment that creates a sense of belonging for all.
