Statement of Belonging Policy

OHVA and its staff are committed to deepening their understanding of its families and cultivating communication with them, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, etc. It is critical that our organization functions with understanding and inclusivity not only for students and business, but for our communities too. Our success stems from our culture of belonging, collaboration, and excellence. We appreciate your continued support on this journey of meaningful work. We believe that academic virtue and character development are a byproduct of a learning experience which deliberately engages the different backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas of our community and world. We aim to build and reinforce an inclusive and equitable environment that challenges us to see beyond our own experiences while honoring the unique contribution of each person within our community. We believe that purposeful engagement with diversity provides each of our students with the collaborative skills necessary for success in the modern world. Our school is committed to building and fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community of students, faculty, and family. When we speak of diversity, we mean that our classrooms have a committed understanding and acceptance of each student having a different, distinctive, and individual perspective and experience. OHVA does not tolerate discrimination in any form, including but not limited to the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, or family composition in the administration of our classrooms, publications, admissions, financial aid, hiring, or any other school administered programs.
