多元化和包容性

Our school community knows that 我们的 commitment to 我们的 core values guides how members will interact with each other; we hold all 我们的 people to these high standards, 一直以来. Our Episcopal identity guides us to respect the worth and dignity of each individual and promote forgiveness, and the school’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, 也由该指南颁布, 是通过我们每天的行动体现出来的吗, 这么多年来.

The myriad ways in which we help 我们的 students develop into responsible world citizens include:

• 全球学者项目

• 棋牌游戏平台学生服务中心 棋牌游戏大全

• 我们的 国际旅游项目

• 我们学校很重要。 社区服务 requirement and demonstrated faculty support for student service endeavors

• guest speakers sponsored by the Diversity Program team

• 要求用西班牙语学习世界语言, 法国, 普通话, 和拉丁语(至少到三级)

• Campus groups such as the Diversity Club; Diversity Program Team; Cultural Appreciation Club; Jewish Cultural Club; Masala Mix (Indian Culture Club); Gender and Sexuality Discussion Group; Who We Are Club with convocation presentations; Eat and Speak Lunch Group, 和更多的

While the majority of the above serves 我们的 Middle and Upper Division students, we also guide 我们的 youngest learners to appreciate and accept the broad range of diversity that exists in the world. Our primary goal in Lower Division is ensuring that students develop a positive identity that is well-rounded; this includes ensuring that they develop positive racial identities.

Though this looks different across the pre-k to fifth grade spectrum, the focus is on helping students understand their identities and how they are impacted by and can impact 我们的 community and the world. Social-情感 learning is a hallmark of the Lower Division curriculum, and these skills are the foundation upon which we begin to build cultural competency skills. Children develop awareness of their world view and positive attitudes towards cultural differences. They gain knowledge of different cultural practices and skills for communicating and interacting across cultures through Social Studies c我们的sework, 社区服务, and age-appropriate and diverse children’s literature.

We believe that religious diversity enriches 我们的 experience, as each member brings important gifts to 我们的 community. As such, Berkeley offers 精神上的 enrichment opportunities including:

• a World Religions c我们的se required in Upper Division that engages various traditions around the globe

• the Sacred Texts Club that draws from over 15 religious traditions

• the Chaplain’s Council in Lower Division that helps students understand diverse religious observances

• an elective called The Spirit World in Upper Division that reflects on how different cultures and religious traditions understand the movement of the holy

• cultural awareness and observance of the world’s religious holidays and traditions

走出校园, Berkeley regularly sends several students to the National Association of Independent Schools’ Student Diversity Leadership Conference and sponsors faculty attendance at their People of Color Conference yearly as well.

Berkeley believes that an excellent education is the best countermeasure to injustice in the world. 每年, we work to make the curriculum and programming referenced above even more robust and impactful, and ensure that we make ever more space for the exploration of difficult, 让人不舒服的话题. We do so in service to 我们的 mission to develop moral, ethical, and socially responsible citizens. The education that we offer at Berkeley fosters confidence and builds critical thinking skills so that as students grow and eventually attain their highest potential, they are fully prepared to comment on and take action against injustices as they see them—to make a positive difference in the world. 行动胜于雄辩, 以及我们的行为, 几十年来,, have palpably demonstrated 我们的 commitment to making the world a better, 更公正的地方.
