Many of our student clubs and committees in middle and upper school have a DEI focus. Most clubs take place once a week during the school year. Clubs are student-led and supported by a faculty member. 

 

WFS recognizes the need for students of color, LGBTQ+ students, and girls to gather in a safe space to discuss issues specific to their shared experience, and to have a space where they can be themselves free of any judgment. To that end, some of our student groups are affinity groups--a gathering of students who all have a particular shared identity.
