BELONGING & COLLECTIVE WELL-BEING
Welcome to Moravian Academy's Office of Belonging & Collective Well-Being. At our school, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB) and Well-Being are not just complementary; they are interdependent. Our approach recognizes that a thriving well-being framework and a commitment to DEIJB are intricately connected, each one sustaining and enriching the other.
By integrating DEIJB into our well-being initiatives, we create a learning environment where every individual feels valued, cherished, and connected. This holistic approach ensures that our community not only supports each member's growth but also fosters an atmosphere where every voice contributes to our collective strength.
Our mission is to nurture the joyful spirit of each learner and empower inclusive global citizens. This commitment goes beyond academics to embrace the whole student in a supportive and inclusive environment. We believe that achieving true collective well-being involves celebrating diversity, pursuing equity, cultivating belonging, and upholding justice.
In our school, each person’s unique strengths and perspectives contribute to a vibrant, supportive community. Together, we build an environment that prioritizes empathy, compassion, and understanding, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to flourish. Through our strategic initiatives and programs, we aim to create a school experience that integrates the science, theory, and practice of wellness across eight domains: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, environmental, financial, occupational, and spiritual wellness.
Guided by our core values—engaging in community, striving for excellence, acting with integrity, and discovering through curiosity—we invite you to explore our resources and join us as stewards of a flourishing environment. Let’s co-create a future where DEIJB and well-being are seamlessly intertwined, nurturing a thriving and inclusive community.
Your fellow steward,
Cristina K. Usino, MS
