Our Diversity Statement

Diversity at The Pike School is supported by the core values of our mission.  One of Pike’s primary goals has been to create a community of respect for self and others.  We believe that by recognizing, respecting, sharing and appreciating our similarities and differences, we grow and flourish.  Our goal is to provide students with the tools to reflect upon and embrace their identities and to engage in conversations in order to grow in an ever more diverse global community.  Through our curriculum, we are dedicated to exposing our students to a wide range of human perspectives and cultures.


“Diversity refers not just to some, but to all.  Everyone is part of the rich tapestry of diversity.”
--Gene Batiste, Vice President, National Association of Independent Schools


There are currently at Pike two strong aspects to our diversity initiative: Pike's own Affinity and Multicultural Groups and POD (People in Open Dialogue), which is a faculty/staff book group focusing on issues of diversity.
