Advance an Inclusive Educational Environment
NCS expresses the philosophy of the Washington National Cathedral and the Episcopal Church by embracing the diversity of human experience. Just as the Cathedral is a “house of prayer for all people,” NCS honors all faith traditions and welcomes and celebrates students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds. Diversity, inclusion, and a multicultural community enrich our learning, as the free exchange of views in an atmosphere of mutual respect combines with a culture encouraging individual expression.
To advance an inclusive educational environment, we will pursue the following actions over the next five years:
