Here at Los Encinos School we are deeply committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging. We teach our students to speak up, advocate for change, and fully support the dialogue that change requires. We also believe that truly understanding others begins with understanding yourself. We empower our children with a sense of empathy, respect, and understanding for each other and everyone they meet. Together, we can conquer hatred, injustice, and bias in any form and make a better world.
Conversations with students are held in developmentally appropriate ways. Teachers are attuned to the different responses each grade requires and strive to create an environment where all our students feel supported, respected, valued, and safe. We allow our students to reflect, share, and express their thoughts.
With our older students, the conversations are more robust, and students are encouraged to ask the tough questions. In all grade-levels, we are dedicated to our virtues and values and strive to create a more inclusive, equitable, and just culture.
