INCLUSION & DIVERSITY

Cliff Valley was founded in 1966 as an inclusive school and community that valued diversity. Our commitment to these values continues to this day. Here is how we think about those two important ideas:

Inclusion refers to the practice of making all members of an organization feel welcome and giving them equal opportunity to connect, belong, and grow – to contribute to the organization, advance their skills, and feel comfortable and confident being themselves.  

Diversity refers to the traits and characteristics that make people unique – characteristics, seen and unseen, that people were born with or have acquired. These characteristics may include their biological sex, race, sexual preference, ethnicity, religious views, political views, military or veteran status, disabilities, socio-economic status, and more.  

A keystone of our mission statement is our caring community environment — our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive school community. We value diversity in our faculty, staff, students, and parents, and our commitment to being inclusive is intentional and ongoing. We don’t just hope to be diverse and inclusive, we actively work to be so.
