Diversity
& Belonging
Every voice valued.
Our Commitment From the Beginning
Since Stanley's founding in 1972, we have believed that a diverse and inclusive learning community creates richer opportunities for all. Our founders envisioned a new educational approach, drastically different from any traditional approach and one that would allow children to grow and flourish in an educational environment in which every child knows they are deeply valued.
36%
of students are from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
26%
of faculty and staff are from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
Diversity at Stanley extends far beyond numbers. We honor differences in race, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender identity, family structure, socioeconomic background, and more.
We actively work to create a learning community where varied backgrounds and perspectives are valued and every member feels a deep sense of belonging.
