Social Justice

At Prado View, social justice, community, and advocacy are at our core. We firmly believe that our diversity is what strengthens us. We continually challenge ourselves to grow from the opportunities and tensions inherent in people working and learning together.

We take a broad view of diversity. In developmentally appropriate ways, we explore aspects of identity including race, ethnicity, socioeconomics, social class, religion, gender, sexual orientation, family structure, ability, and learning styles. At Prado View, children become advocates for social justice and allies in an inclusive community. Our work is grounded in supporting positive identity development for all students.

The power of diversity involves adults as well as children. CNUSD actively seeks families, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds who are willing partners in the quest for social justice. Each child and adult should be able to see themselves reflected in the larger community. This commitment is consistent with the idea that schools should represent and improve the society in which they exist.
