Westland’s Diversity Mission Statement

Together as a community, Westland School is committed to:

  • Acknowledge, respect, and honor each community member’s full identity. Our differences may include but are not limited to:

  • Integrate and promote diversity, equity, and inclusivity in our curriculum, practices, policy, school culture, and institutional identity.

  • Contribute actively to the welfare of our diverse community, assuring that all community members know that they belong.

  • Provide our children, families, faculty, and administration with opportunities, safe spaces, and support to reaffirm and explore our individual and group identities so that we may all thrive. 

  • Build each member’s cultural literacy and the skills to recognize oppression, unfairness, and privilege that exists on all levels: the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and cultural.

  • Empower each member with the confidence, voice, and agency to speak out against oppression and move our community ever towards equity and inclusivity.
