Community Engagement & Inclusion

In order to realize the goals of our mission and vision, Ensworth must actively strive to be a diverse and inclusive community of learners that engages collectively In Search of Truth. The presence of different perspectives and life experiences plays a vital role in the development of our students, enhancing classroom and extracurricular experiences in meaningful ways. As a school, we are committed to cultivating an environment in which all members of the Ensworth community experience a true sense of belonging and are empowered to be active participants in the life of the school. These efforts are essential if we are to foster the growth of all students in line with their potential, and to equip them for lives of purpose that extend far beyond their time at Ensworth.

Race Talks

The Office of Community Engagement and Inclusion, in partnership with the Ensworth Parent Association, offers an in-depth educational opportunity to interested parents and faculty during the fall. The Race Talk class is designed to be both informative and interactive, with the intention of helping parents in our community (1) learn how to more effectively talk about race, (2) build bridges and relationships across differences, (3) develop knowledge about what race and racism are and how they impact education and society, and (4) foster increased understanding and dialogue about race inside and outside of education.
