Diversity and Equity Matters to our Community

Creative Arts school’s vision and values

Creative Arts Charter School seeks to reflect the increasingly diverse world in which our students live. We embrace differences and commonalities across race, gender, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender orientation, physical and learning differences, and socioeconomic class, as well as other characteristics that construct our unique human identities. Our goal is to create a respectful and responsive community where each member is valued and supported.

In order to achieve this goal, we:

• Actively recruit and support students, teachers, and staff from diverse backgrounds.
• Foster confident self-identity while building empathy and relationships with people from diverse backgrounds.
• Commit ourselves to an anti-bias agenda that celebrates diversity and challenges inequality and all forms of bias.
• Empower students as leaders to stand up for themselves and others to create a more just world.
• Implement several educational programs to develop students’ empathy and appreciation of one another.

We understand the reflection, dedication, and perseverance necessary to meet our goal. We believe meeting this challenge will make us stronger as individuals and as a community.
