Affinity Groups
We are pleased to offer a host of affinity spaces and cultural groups across a wide range of identities, including gender, ability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, and race. Trained facilitators are working with school leadership to create and maintain spaces that are affirming for identity development and supportive of cross-cultural interactions. These spaces exist for groups of people who are drawn together because of a specific shared identity with the intention of finding connection, support, and inspiration.
Embracing diversity and the pursuit of excellence, we create a community in which individuals develop competence, confidence, and character. Our active learning environment, in and out of the classroom, develops creative and critical thinkers, unafraid to express their ideas, prepared to seek meaningful lifetime success, and to live by our motto, “Dare to be true.”
Affinity groups are open to alumni and current parents/guardians. For more information on how to get involved or join a facilitated affinity space, please fill out this form.
Meeting cadence will be determined by trained facilitators who are alumni or parent/guardian volunteers.
