The Oldfields Guidebook for the School Community 2012-2013
Mission Oldfields School is committed to the intellectual and moral development of young women. In a culture of kindness and mutual respect, we encourage each student to make the most of her academic and personal potential. We seek to guide each student to grow in character, confidence, and knowledge by encouraging her to embrace the values of personal honesty, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility.
Oldfields School Diversity Statement Oldfields is committed to ensuring a diverse community. The School welcomes national and international students into a community that nurtures a multitude of talents, skill levels, and learning styles. At Oldfields, each girl’s success is enhanced as we celebrate the personal experiences that often are informed by socio-economic status, race, age, nationality, ideology, sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, and ethnicity. We honor and respect the opportunity to learn and grow from the multitude of valuable life experiences and personal beliefs from every member of our community. The community is committed to a continuously active and innovative process of creating a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for everyone.

A parent or guardian also is asked to sign the pledge indicating his/her support of her daughter and the School. Forms are available on the Oldfields School website. The form will be kept on file in the Student Life Office.
