Pike at a Glance

Understanding through Affinity

After years in the development process, Pike has launched an affinity group and a multicultural group. The affinity group is aimed at providing students of color with a safe time and space to share and discuss common experiences around race.  The multicultural group is open to all students interested in exploring issues of diversity and multiculturalism.  Both groups are available to Middle and Upper School students.  This program has begun the process of creating opportunities for students to positively explore, celebrate, develop and affirm their identities.

The program supports one of the core values of The Pike School mission: "We believe that by recognizing, respecting, sharing and appreciating our similarities and differences, we grow and flourish."

The goal of the affinity group is to provide Middle and Upper School students of color with a safe and supportive space where they can be the majority and talk about their experiences as students of color. Its membership is open to students of color, and its agenda is driven by the needs and interests of the members.

The goal of the multicultural group is to provide Middle and Upper School students with a setting where issues of multiculturalism, including race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender, can be discussed in a safe environment. Membership in this group is open to all students, and its agenda is driven by the needs and interests of its members.
