Diversity Mission Statement
 
From our founding, educating students from all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds has been part of Commonwealth’s mission. In and beyond the classroom, our students celebrate and critically explore the many facets of diversity—race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religion, socioeconomic background, political opinion, nationality, and more—across the spectrum of human experience. We strive to ensure all of our students can avail themselves of every opportunity at Commonwealth and that the whole of our community (students, teachers, and families alike) feels fully enfranchised and empowered to speak up and be heard. This work, by its nature, must be ongoing, and we commit to sharing our plans and progress as we build on the interconnected diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives on our website.

Commonwealth School is committed to a policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all employees and qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, ancestry, genetic information, veteran status, military service, application for military service, or any other status protected by applicable law. Commonwealth will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities, in accordance with applicable law.
