Diverse and Inclusive Community

Statement on Active Inclusion and Acceptance

Building confidence, resilience, sense of self-worth, trust in community, and lasting connections among the students at Rowan Tree Children’s School requires us to build active and enthusiastic inclusion and acceptance of differences: including differences in gender, racial and ethnic background, religion, ability, and class. Rowan Tree Children’s School is committed to nurturing, accepting, and respecting every child at our school as they grow to understand themselves as unique and important members of our community.

There is no room for hate in our school or in our hearts. Racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, classism, colonialism, and all other forms of hatred or intolerance are not welcome at Rowan Tree Children’s School. Through our commitment to educating the whole child – the head, heart, and hands – we commit to creating environments where every child feels safe, valued, and respected.
