了解低年级的社区

早在幼儿园, we are dedicated to ensuring that we educate even our youngest minds and hearts on the importance of embracing and celebrating the diversity of cultures, 语言, 以及我们整个社区和世界的身份认同. We are encouraging acceptance and appreciation at every class level in the following ways:

社区类

在我们的社区课上, 幼稚园学生, 课上我, and 课上我I begin their journey of developing a greater understanding of and appreciation for differences. They discover and learn how these differences create a mosaic of human experiences, which are central elements in a fulfilling and enriching learning environment and prepare the foundation for a successful life. 通过各种查询为主, 个人, 还有小组项目, they are guided and encouraged to see themselves as active and productive participants in creating a better world for themselves and their respective communities.

中学

在中学发展舒适,联系和勇气

As students navigate their own identities and learn more about the cultures and experiences of their classmates, 我们认为为表达提供出口是很重要的, 探索, 以及对彼此历史和遗产的欣赏. We are encouraging acceptance and appreciation at every class level in the following ways:

社区的时间

Through an advising curriculum rooted in conversations about race and identity, 以及互补性的集会和市政厅会议, students deepen their understanding of systemic 种族歧视 and other forms of intolerance, 包括反犹太主义, 伊斯兰恐惧症, 排外情绪, 恐同症, 变性恐惧症和性别歧视, 他们就会变得脆弱, 语言, and tools to create a community and world that is actively anti-racist and equitable.

安慰, 连接, 勇气:在这个过程中, students develop the following skills: COMFORT with discussing challenging topics, which will come from a safe and trust-filled environment created together; the motivation and ability to make CONNECTIONS with others, especially others with whom they have less in common; and the COURAGE to engage in the work of creating a more inclusive and equitable community for all, 在蓝门里面和外面.

第八课历史

在学生升入中学的那一年, 他们沉浸在一门以种族为重点的课程中, 种族歧视, 反种族主义, 以及美国的人权问题. Beginning with a study of the Black Lives Matter movement and race in contemporary America, 随着一年的展开, students uncover how systems of oppression were built and how Americans have worked and sacrificed to try to dismantle them. 为了追求真理, 我们放大了叙事中缺失的声音, and the year culminates in students' creation of memorials to those Americans not sufficiently recognized by history.

上学校

As we prepare our older students to lead at Nightingale and after they walk out of our blue doors, we are dedicated to providing opportunities and responsibilities for critical engagement around topics of race, 股本, and social justice that empower our students to be catalysts for social change. The following resources and initiatives are designed to support these conversations:
