DEIJB
You belong.
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Justice. Belonging. Our ongoing work here at FSW is to build a transformative community of dynamic learners who are guided by unwavering empathy, cultural competency, and social awareness. We prepare students to navigate an increasingly networked global society, challenge systemic biases, and contribute to a more just and inclusive world.
We are deeply driven by our Quaker origins—a history shaped by profound commitments to the abolition of slavery, suffragette voting rights, the Civil Rights movement, LGBTQ+ equality, and Indigenous land reconciliation. We not only recall the historical and ongoing work of Friends but also continue to examine myriad ways in which we can build upon our own campus values. These efforts are reflected in and by our school-wide programming, faculty/staff professional development, family workshops, donor and endowment support, cross-cultural community events, and organizational partnerships.
Roadmap to Belonging
Friends School of Wilmington celebrates inclusivity and promotes diversity of our students, faculty, and staff. Through curricula and intentional programming that advocates for social justice, we prepare our students to engage in the world with curiosity and respect for all people.
2025 MLK Day Celebration
Since FSW's founding 30 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. Day has been deeply meaningful to our school community. Rooted in Dr. King's vision of justice, equality, and service, this day is more than a commemoration—it is a call to action. From the very beginning, our students have honored Dr. King’s legacy through meaningful service projects, reflective learning experiences, and community partnerships that bring his dream of a more just and inclusive world to life. MLK Day continues to serve as a cornerstone of our commitment to empathy, civic responsibility, and equity in all that we do.
