Diversity, equity, and inclusion

DIVERSITY STATEMENT

The official Greenhills school diversity statement runs as follows:

"The promotion of diversity is essential to the ethos and practices of Greenhills School. We believe that people from all races, cultures, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, abilities, religions, and sexualities are sources of strength that enrich teaching and learning. We strive to build a diverse learning community by actively valuing individual experiences, ideas, and talents."

In all of our practices, the members of the College Counseling Office strive to uphold the ideals articulated in this statement. In addition, we subscribe to the Commitment to Antiracist Action authored by the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools.
