At The
Haverford School, diversity is more than a program or compilation of
statistical data. It is at the core of our community life and embodies
the mission of the School, which is to provide the best learning
environment to prepare our boys for the world they will face upon
graduation.
We want them to develop thinking that values alternative
viewpoints and accepts and celebrates differences found in others, while
seeing the oneness in our humanity.
We actively commit to diversity at our school through hiring
practices, professional development, curriculum, and admission policies.
We reject prejudice based on race, ethnicity, culture, religion,
socioeconomic status, gender, learning styles, disability, age, or
sexual identity by educating all constituents about
acceptance and the core values of the School: respect, honesty, and
courage.
By embracing diversity, we edify the life of our community and help
our boys foster a sense of self while recognizing they're important to
the plurality of the school. Through these efforts, we prepare boys to
face and resolve tomorrow’s challenges and make enduring contributions
to our school and beyond.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding community and/or diversity at The Haverford School.
