Villa Maria Academy is committed to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community that respects and promotes the integration of under-represented groups into its community. Villa Maria recognizes the many dimensions of diversity and the broad, complex, and dynamic nature of human difference and similarity. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential in any educational environment, including preparing students for citizenship in a global society, the sharing of cultural knowledge and wisdom, and promoting collective well-being. A policy of diversity, equity, and inclusion will facilitate Villa Maria Academy's mission as a Catholic and I.H.M. Congregational school.
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty/Staff Committee, working with the Director of Service and Social Justice, facilitates policies and programs to enhance the Villa Maria community in the area of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
