Our Community
The Field School is committed to the idea of a welcoming community that embraces and truly
values different identities, lived experiences, cultures, and perspectives.
We believe students learn best when they feel a sense of belonging at their school—when they are
seen and valued by their teachers, peers, and school community. We nurture, cultivate, and protect
the uniqueness of each member of the community while
providing the robust environment that students need to
grow and thrive. Engaging the full community ensures that
we identify and remove barriers to experiencing true
belonging.
In the classroom, attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion
impacts how we teach as much as what we teach. This
kind of reflection — Who am I? What is my history? How
does my history inform the way I walk through life and the
Field hallways? What are my biases? — positively impacts
the way we interact with and learn from each other. Staying
true to this work, the curriculum is constantly evolving and
teachers strive to be reflective practitioners.
