DIVERSITY AND COMMUNITY
We intentionally build and nurture a diverse educational community whose members learn and live alongside one another with mutual respect, displaying intellectual curiosity about differences, and demonstrating Christ’s message of love and inclusion. Creating, upholding, and nourishing a diverse and inclusive community is integral to fulfilling each tenet of FRA’s mission. In the spirit of unity, we instill in our students the value of compassionate collaboration and reciprocal relationships through learning experiences both locally and beyond. We cultivate an environment where all staff, students, and families join together in community, exemplifying the value we place on diversity and inclusion at FRA.
Diversity Initiatives
Diversity, Community, and Inclusion Faculty Committee
Our faculty-led DCI Council brings together representatives from all three divisions and academic departments to guide school-wide efforts in building a more inclusive, Christ-centered community. Working collaboratively, the group champions initiatives that reflect our shared values, strengthen connections across campus, and develop programming that empowers every community member and deepens our sense of belonging.
Culture Council
Our middle and upper school student leaders play a vital role in shaping school culture and celebrating the richness of diverse voices across campus. As members of the Culture Council, they work to create, uphold, and communicate community expectations that foster an environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally. The council also works with school leadership to develop programs and initiatives that strengthen the student experience and ensure that the culture at FRA continues to flourish.
Heritage Month Celebrations
Throughout the year, we celebrate heritage months through chapel services, field trips, devotions, and lower school assemblies. These activities invite us to expand our understanding, uplift diverse voices, and foster a deeper sense of belonging. Our heritage month celebrations include Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
