Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are concepts of paramount importance at Chatham Hall.

Together, they work to ensure that we are a community that not only respects each other’s differences but finds value, beauty, and even magic in them. We welcome and encourage a richness of cultures, languages, backgrounds, beliefs, and opinions to ensure that our community sees an accurate representation of the outside world and the richness that exists beyond our town. We encourage open dialogue and discussion between students with differing views, and we offer global student experiences to allow everyone to develop a curiosity for difference and empathy and respect for the human experience.

Each year, our director of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) works with our DEI Task Force made up of students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumnae and student DEI Ambassadors to select a theme for the year. Review the 2023-2024 Mission Statement and Fact Sheet to learn more about the School's shift to Cultural Consciousness & Intuition (CCI).
