About Us
Our Mission
The Phillips Brooks School community inspires students to love learning, to develop a spiritual nature, to communicate effectively, to be kind to others, and to respect the uniqueness of each person.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
PBS places a high priority on this important topic. In 2018, the Board of Trustees initiated an intensive, multi-year study to identify strategies that the school could employ to ensure we are continually evolving on this front and pushing ourselves to learn and grow, both for our students’ sake and for the sake of our greater community.
The efforts of the Board Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are augmented by the appointment of a Faculty Coordinator focused on this topic, as well as a curriculum committee comprised of faculty and staff to work on developing the curriculum.
