Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Palmer Trinity School is dedicated to fostering an inclusive community rooted in the Episcopal Church’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. By respecting each individual’s dignity and affirming our shared humanity, the school seeks to build a community that embraces differences and emphasizes shared purpose. Guided by these principles, Palmer Trinity aims to develop students into well-informed, thinking, empathetic global citizens who will lead with love. 

A key part of this mission is the Culture and Belonging Team, which oversees initiatives such as curricula, awareness campaigns, affinity groups, and resources to address the evolving needs of the community. The team also encourages students and parents to reach out for additional support, ensuring that the school remains responsive and inclusive.

Mosaic is an inclusivity curriculum integrated into the Advisory program in grades 6th through 12th, which aims to raise awareness of and affirmation of identity by discussing diversity and inclusion.  The goal of Mosaic is to promote the holistic safety of each individual in our educational community through a series of age-appropriate and relevant lesson plans that are co-created by both faculty and student leaders. Teams of advisors and student facilitators from our Diversity Peer Educator Program run these lessons.  Discussion and reflection on topics promote a deeper understanding of the multiple dimensions of human diversity, foster a culture of respect, empathy, and inclusivity in our school community, and launch global citizens.

Students have founded and run all of the following organizations and initiatives (with support from the Student Activities Director and the individual organization's faculty sponsor).
