Globally Minded Students Embrace Diversity
When we say we are culturally diverse, we mean it. Did you know that in our current 5th grade class seven students out of the 16 speak a second language fluently? These students represent 6 countries: Spain, France, Romania, Pakistan, India, Germany, and Japan. Likewise, 22% of our student body identifies as multi-cultural. Day School embraces diversity in languages, cultures, and heritage. This diversity enriches the classroom learning environment and teaches our students to be globally minded, one of the Portrait of a Graduate attributes we believe prepares Day School students to be the leaders of the future.
