Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at Schoolhouse

Our Commitments Around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We:
-
Acknowledge that the school rests on the unceded ancestral lands of the Ramaytush Ohlone people.
-
Maintain the founding principle to keep tuition as low as possible thereby making a high quality progressive education as accessible as possible.
-
Enrich our community by welcoming a diversity of races, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, abilities, and national origins.
-
Ensure that social emotional learning (SEL) is given equal weight to academic learning.
-
Infuse DEI throughout all aspects of the program and community life.
-
Provide real-life, project-based learning, and student leadership opportunities that teach students how to stand up for what is right in order to make the world a better place for all.
-
Teach students to examine biases, within themselves and in the world around them, so they may actively push against them.
-
Instill in students the notion that they have the responsibility to use their privileges to help others.
-
Educate students about historical systems that disadvantage some members of society over others, empowering them to reshape their world.
-
Support students and community members of all genders via specific policies and commitments.
