Greenwich Country Day School aims to build an inclusive, just, and equitable school community reflecting the multitude of human identities and perspectives in our world.

Our collective commitment to honor human dignity is sustained, developed, and evaluated through an anti-bias and anti-racist practice and pedagogy. We recognize this work is never-ending and thus, we aspire to regularly create opportunities for our Upper School community to explore aspects of identity and to develop the skills and knowledge to identify injustice and thoughtfully participate in pathways to positive change.

An anti-bias approach to curriculum design provides students opportunities to explore their own identities and to develop a positive social identity. Through meaningful collaboration and thoughtful interactions, students learn to value a diversity of intersecting identities and perspectives. We aim to nurture curiosity and openness, while also encouraging students to critically examine their world for inequity and bias. Our goal is to foster advocates and allies who can identify injustice and thoughtfully participate in creating pathways to positive change.

Whether in the classroom, through advisory, or in the context of curated events, our diversity, equity, and inclusion programming serves as a catalyst for intellectual development and a means of fostering the growth of each individual’s capacity for self-awareness, citizenship, and leadership in a global society.
