Statement of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
We Commit to Celebrating Diversity in All Its Forms
Cypress School supports the ever-growing diversity of our school population through outreach and admissions. This diversity includes, but is not limited to: family structure, culture, race, religion, socioeconomics, sexual orientation, gender, identity, and mental / social abilities. It is our goal that the children and families of our school reflect the rich diversity of the city in which we live.
We strive to achieve universal access by offering a full-time, full-year program and investing in a well-established Community Fund*
We Commit to Developing Thoughtful Citizens of the World
Our diverse community of children, family members, caregivers, and faculty learn and play in interconnected and interdependent relationships.
Learning about fairness, equity, and human differences are central tasks of early childhood. It is with joy and conviction that we support children in these distinct and important learning experiences. Our commitment to education for social justice is evident every day in the language we use with children, our approach to social conflict resolution, the materials that we choose, and in our focus on inviting and celebrating family cultures in the classroom.
Together, we create a community of respect, dignity and belonging where we are all empowered to listen, contribute, participate and advocate for a more just world.
