Diversity is Fundamental to Academic Excellence

Value and Celebrate Individual Differences and Perspectives

In efforts to create and sustain a community that reflects the diversity of the Bay Area, we provide a dynamic learning environment to prepare students for the world in which they live. We expose students to a curriculum with many viewpoints and experiences that challenge and broaden their outlook. Faculty, staff, administration, trustees, parents/guardians, and students with inclusive perspectives and attitudes make our school a place of respect and compassion where all members belong and thrive.

Dedication to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is deeply interwoven within our core values and mission. We enhance academic excellence through the richness of varied experiences, identities, and perspectives. We encourage students to seek growth challenges in their academic pursuits, challenge their assumptions, and engage in differences. Through this comprehensive framework, we guide students in a manner that ensures they are prepared for a diverse and interconnected world.
