A Better Learning Environment for All Students
We envision diverse private school communities that ensure equal opportunity for all students and educators in Los Angeles. Research concludes that diverse learning populations lead to better outcomes for all students. By supporting more students and educators of color to access private school opportunities, we improve learning for all and take strides toward a more equitable society as a whole.
Not only do we equip students and educators with the tools they need to join independent schools, we also work to ensure that the schools themselves employ best policies and practices through our Social Responsibility Certification. Only then can schools authentically address the needs of students of color while creating an environment where all students can thrive.
