Sierra Canyon Schools is a center of academic excellence committed to maintaining an empowering environment that helps students realize their intellectual, creative, ethical, and physical abilities. In line with its goal of meeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) standards, Sierra Canyon School has included DEI in its curriculum from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade.
DEI is incorporated in Middle School to help students develop interpersonal responsibility and empathy. All aspects of DEI are included in both curricular and co-curricular activities. For instance, during assemblies and advisory sessions, various types of speakers are invited to discuss Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with the entire school. Additionally, advisory groups further seek student engagement by sharing thoughts and views on current issues and politics. This allows students to develop listening and speaking skills and develop mutual respect.
7th Grade students take Global Studies for one semester and the United States History for three semesters within the curriculum. These subjects aim to help students understand critical DEI issues such as race, oppression, and social justice, historically and in the current world. On the other hand, English classes expose students to themes such as “appearance vs. reality” and “otherness” as learners use novels, short stories, and poetry to understand human connectedness.
