Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Cedarwood

A fundamental principle of Waldorf Education is the respect for human rights and the diversity of humankind, as well as the belief that inclusivity and equality are both a moral and educational imperative.

As a community, Cedarwood Waldorf School actively welcomes children, faculty, staff, and families of all races, religions, gender identities, and family cultures. We strive to give all students, faculty, and families a sense of belonging and unity. Waldorf schools were founded over a century ago and at Cedarwood Waldorf we seek to evolve and better represent the many cultures of the world where each person feels seen and valued. It is an ongoing journey and we encourage our families to do this work in their homes, have conversations, be uncomfortable, and learn from mistakes.

The Board of Trustees and the Faculty at Cedarwood have developed statements of support for the work that each group is doing around equity. 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

The Board of Trustees supports the equity-related work at Cedarwood, as identified in the school’s Strategic Plan and within its own work.  The Board adopted this Equity Statement in the spring of 2023.
