[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter currently goes to Holton and our family was drawn there in large part because of its commitment to DEI and its impressive seminar program focused on developing students who will be empathetic, critical thinkers with a strong sense of their own identity.

Unfortunately, under new leadership,  Holton’s re-enrollment contracts no longer explicitly name DEI as a priority. Instead, all the places where DEI had been named last year have now been replaced with vague reference to Holton’s “values.” I’ve reached out to the school to get a better understanding of what this change means for programming, but there have been other signals along the way that lead me to believe I’ll be disappointed in the response.

I come to this forum not to debate the merits of DEI in schools or even whether or not Holton is abandoning their commitment. Instead, I’m here to figure out what my options are in a short window of time before contracts are binding on May 31. Are there any girls schools with a strong reputation for DEI? I’ve got GDS, Burke and Sidwell in mind if co-ed is my best route, so open to other coed recommendations too. My daughter is in Middle School, so Madeira is not an option yet. Thanks!  [/quote]

NCS for sure. Ask admissions to speak with current families. [/quote]

See other posts on the forum about NCS. There is a side you will not hear about from the people admissions uses to sell you on the school. [/quote]
