CODI

CODI, our Community of Diversity and Inclusivity is a school board-level committee that focuses on ways to promote and cultivate diversity within our Wesley community through parent and student involvement, education, and experiences.

Mission Statement

CODI (Community of Diversity & Inclusivity) values, understands, appreciates, respects, and celebrates the many differences among us, including:

The languages we speak
The religions we practice
The range of our socio-economic status
Our racial and ethnic heritages and traditions
The sexual orientation of each of our community members
Our affiliations and convictions
The composition of our family structures
The ages and generations we represent
The many hues in the colors of our skin
The variety of our physical attributes and abilities
The differences in our learning styles and strengths

We recognize that this range of diversity—and the celebration and acceptance of our differences—creates an environment in which each of us may achieve academic and personal success. We believe that it is the responsibility of us all to foster respect for the dignity of each person within our community.

More About CODI

CODI, our Community of Diversity and Inclusivity is a school board-level committee. The Wesley School is committed to diversity because, as a whole, all students benefit from the knowledge and experiences that a diverse community provides. Diversity is vital for the success of independent schools such as ours, and Wesley follows the National Association of Independent Schools’ (NAIS) view in regards to “why” diversity matters:

Diversity prepares our students to thrive in a global multicultural community and encourages academic excellence for all students.
Diversity helps teachers be more effective by adopting strategies that help support students’ uniqueness.
Independent schools benefit from diversity because it helps them prepare today’s young students to seize the world stage of tomorrow.

At The Wesley School we value and nurture diversity. We focus on being multicultural through events and programs that support diversity and inclusivity, which helps our school grow and develop. CODI focuses on ways to promote and cultivate diversity within our community!
