Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Belonging (DEIJB) are foundational principles within our school community. In alignment with our Buddhist values, we believe that every individual has inherent worth and deserves respect, understanding, and equal opportunities.
Diversity is celebrated and cherished as a source of strength and enrichment within our school. We value the unique identities, perspectives, and experiences of all students, families, and staff members. By embracing diversity, we foster an inclusive environment that encourages open-mindedness, acceptance, and appreciation for different cultures, languages, abilities, sexual identities, and socio-economic backgrounds. For students, parents, and staff, we will honour chosen identities to the fullest extent possible within Thailand, and will not tolerate discriminatory behaviour.
Equity is at the core of our educational philosophy. We strive to create a fair and just learning environment where students have access to the necessary resources, support, and opportunities to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We recognize and address systemic barriers that may impede a student's progress, offer scholarships to students who demonstrate promise, and do our best to ensure that students from a variety of backgrounds have access to Panyaden’s programme.
Inclusion is a fundamental principle that guides our interactions and practices. We actively promote a sense of belonging for all members of our community, cultivating an atmosphere of acceptance, empathy, and support. We encourage collaboration, dialogue, and the sharing of diverse perspectives, fostering a spirit of unity that allows individuals to feel valued, heard, and included.
Belonging is an essential aspect of our school's culture. We strive to create a warm and nurturing environment where students and families feel safe, connected, and supported. Through mindfulness practices and the cultivation of compassion, we help students develop a deep sense of belonging to themselves, to others, and to the wider world. By nurturing a sense of belonging, we foster a community where everyone can flourish and contribute positively.
We believe that by embracing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, we uphold the principles of Buddhism and provide a transformative educational experience that prepares our students to navigate a diverse and interconnected world with wisdom, compassion, and understanding.
