Diversity at The Mead School

For The Mead School, our Diversity Mission Statement is a living document that our community uses as a mirror with which to advise our actions. Mead's diversity mission requires that our community makes conscious choices and pursues ongoing reflection of these choices. We stay in conversation with each other. The core of the educational goals for our students is to develop the skills to appreciate, understand, and celebrate the differences and similarities in each and every one of us. All faculty are charged with providing a non-biased, multicultural education. The Diversity Action Committee is comprised of faculty and parents whose charge is to enhance the School's multicultural environment through adult education and champion diversity initiatives. It also serves as the community's mirror to ensure that our actions always remain consistent and honest to our mission. As the Director of Diversity, I am thrilled to work in a community that truly values the meaning of diversity and multiculturism.

Mead School Diversity Mission Statement

The Mead School is dedicated to developing and nurturing a diverse community. We seek to create a school culture and curriculum that cultivates open minds, honors similarities and differences, and includes a diversity of perspectives. We want our students to develop an understanding of themselves in relation to their community and the world, and to empower them to use the Seven School Skills to effect change.


 

Diversity

Diversity at Mead School means acceptance and respect for similarities and differences inherent in all human beings. Understanding diversity is central to creating a cooperative and vibrant society. Learning, exploring and seeking to understand one another and the various dimensions of diversity – including but not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, learning styles, physical abilities, religious and political beliefs, - deepen participation in the community and the world. At the Mead School, we strive to provide experiences that empower and prepare children to become successful participants in their society.

 

Curriculum

Students and teachers are continuously challenged to broaden their knowledge base to develop a curriculum embedded with perspectives, histories, cultures, and contributions of diverse groups.

 

Change

Change is the result of genuine learning. At The Mead School, students use the Seven School Skills (To Act, To Respect, To Imagine, To Think, To Express, To Receive, To Intuit) as tools to enhance and deepen their learning. Through its commitment to social and emotional development, a Mead School education encourages students to learn empathy. Students can imagine the possibilities for change in the world and have the freedom to choose if, how, when and where to act on their values.
