At Riverfield Country Day School, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) has been and continues to be an important area of focus and effort—for students, faculty, staff, and parents alike.
Non-Discriminatory/Statement on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Riverfield Country Day School is a non-profit, independent school with no religious affiliation. Riverfield is a welcoming community that strives to treat everyone fairly. All decisions regarding admissions, employment, administration, and student and faculty life are made without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, ethnicity, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or family status, or any other criteria prohibited by law. All rights, privileges, educational, athletic, school-administrated programs, and activities made available by the school are extended to all students, families, faculty, and staff.
The DEIJ Alliance came together in 2021 at the direction of the Board of Trustees and strives to inform and empower all of the RCDS community including faculty and staff, parents and students, as well as alumni, and alumni parents. The DEIJ Alliance consists of three working groups: Policy and Procedures, Classroom Resources, and Training for Adults. Through the Alliance, RCDS faculty and Alliance members have completed training on racial justice, gender identity, and education equity.
The DEIJ Steering Committee provides an official voice for the DEIJ Alliance with institutional and structural support from the Board of Trustees. The Diversity Alliance, composed of Riverfield Students, has provided ground-level support to student concerns.
