In support of the mission of The Cambridge School of Weston, we seek to create a thriving, diverse community of students and adults in which human differences are understood, respected, and seen as vital reflections of the larger society and world. We value human diversity as a rich, living educational resource for the fulfillment of our mission, and believe multiculturalism to be the relevant and mutually beneficial societal norm. Our definition of diversity includes the dimensions of gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, religion, and physical ability. We aim for a community whose members feel safe enough to explore, confront, and challenge in open inquiry the dynamic multifaceted differences among them, and understand that such a community is crucial for our students' future successful participation in the wider world.
