Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion

Fostering a Thriving Community
for All

At Brooklyn Amity School, we firmly believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are the cornerstones of a thriving educational community. We are committed to creating an environment where every student, regardless of their background or identity, feels valued, respected, and supported.

In our free 3K and PreK programs, as well as our private K to 12 offerings, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and strive to cultivate an inclusive culture where all students can flourish. Our commitment to diversity goes beyond mere acknowledgment; it is embedded in every aspect of our educational philosophy.

Promoting Diversity:
We embrace and celebrate the rich diversity of our student body, their families, and our staff members. We believe that a diverse learning environment fosters a broader perspective, enhances critical thinking, and promotes cultural understanding. Our classrooms are vibrant spaces where students from various cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds come together to learn, share experiences, and celebrate their individuality.

Advancing Equity:
Brooklyn Amity is dedicated to ensuring that every student has equal access to opportunities and resources. We strive to identify and address any barriers that might hinder a student's academic and personal growth. Our commitment to equity means that we work diligently to provide an inclusive curriculum, support services, and personalized attention to meet the diverse needs of our students.

Embracing Inclusion:
Inclusion is at the heart of our educational approach. We promote a sense of belonging and acceptance, creating a safe and nurturing environment where all students can thrive. Our educators foster an atmosphere of respect and open dialogue, encouraging students to embrace different perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and develop empathy for others.

​

Cultivating Empathy:
Through various programs, events, and discussions, we encourage students to develop empathy and understanding towards individuals from different backgrounds. We believe that fostering empathy is crucial in preparing our students to become compassionate and responsible global citizens, who actively contribute to making the world a more just and equitable place.

​

Promoting Representation:
We strive to ensure that our curriculum, learning materials, and extracurricular activities reflect the diverse world we live in. Our commitment to representation means that students encounter a wide range of perspectives, cultures, and experiences in their educational journey, fostering a deeper appreciation for diversity.

​

Building Partnerships:
We recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just the responsibility of the school, but a collective effort involving students, parents, guardians, teachers, and the broader community. We actively seek input and feedback from our stakeholders to strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

​

By nurturing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environment, Brooklyn Amity School empowers its students to become compassionate, empathetic, and open-minded individuals. We believe that embracing diversity enriches the educational experience, fosters personal growth, and prepares our students to be successful leaders in an interconnected world.

​

At Brooklyn Amity School, we are committed to creating a learning community where every student's unique identity and potential are celebrated, and where the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion are upheld with unwavering dedication.
