The Spence School strives to be a diverse community that articulates, affirms and
values people's differences. The multiplicity of backgrounds and perspectives within our community must
reflect that of a larger world, to prepare our students for life and leadership in school and beyond and
further the ideals expressed in our motto.
-
Diversity fosters our strength as a school and our growth as an institution. A school whose members have different backgrounds and points of view fuels inquiry and exploration and ensures that collectively we learn more and arrive at a greater understanding than would otherwise be possible.
Spence acknowledges the challenges inherent in being part of a diverse world and the deliberate effort required to sustain cohesion and trust. We have the obligation to create a community in which each individual is a respected member. We embrace our responsibility to be a school that values difference.
