Diversity and Inclusion
At Carey, Everyone Belongs
At The Carey School, we work thoughtfully and continuously to live our core values of diversity and inclusion so that everyone feels welcomed and valued. We start at the highest level with a guiding vision developed by our Board. We then take that vision into our everyday activities, with our OneCarey committee as champions of our efforts
