Diversity & Inclusion

"...we value the similarities and differences of perspectives and the interdependence of all people. LFCDS believes that diversity fosters rich academic and developmental outcomes for our children and is a cornerstone of a strong community." -- Diversity & Inclusion Mission Statement
At Lake Forest Country Day School, Diversity is one of our five Core Values. The School believes that exposure to differences fosters an enriched education. Thus, we invite and embrace a diverse community that reflects distinctive and different backgrounds, origins, perspectives, and talents to the benefit of all. In 2016, the LFCDS Board of Trustees adopted a Diversity and Inclusion Mission Statement to underscore and to direct the School's efforts to cultivate a community of compassionate, imaginative, and curious learners with the ability to communicate and thrive in a global environment.
