Diversity &Equity

Our community’s strength and our mission of “lifelong transformation of self and the world” are predicated on equity of voice in regard to race, gender, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic diversity and on the belief that a privileged education such as ours requires an active commitment to our larger community. Our abiding focus on identity, voice and confidence allows our students to meet the complex challenges of today and to frame the ones of tomorrow. Essential to our enterprise is the understanding that meaningful and nuanced perspectives and multiple points of view fuel academic excellence: neither the world nor our School is single or static. 

 Diversity is the representation of all our varied personal and social identities, including race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, tribe, caste, socio-economic status, thinking, and communication styles. We seek to proactively engage a variety of perspectives to collaboratively identify solutions to the problems we hope to address, individually and collectively. 

 Equity seeks to ensure fair treatment, equality of opportunity, and fairness in access to information and resources for all. We believe this is only possible in an environment that centers respect, dignity, and reflective practice.
