多样性、公平和包容
Thacher’s mission is to train young people in the art of living for their own greatest good and for the greatest good of their fellow citizens in a diverse and changing world. 随着我们的成长和发展，以迎接立博体育网站挑战, we must remain ever mindful that only a diverse and changing school can truly prepare its students for a diverse and changing world.
The voices and accounts of our diverse extended community have informed and inspired our efforts to learn important lessons from our past and strive to more fully support present and future students. From the wave of bipoc@ instagram pages that took over independent schools during the Summer of 2020, to the countless conversations stewarded by the Office of Alumni Relations, 多样性办公室, 公平与包容, 撒切尔学派 recognizes that our greatest good is dependent on fostering anti-bias anti-racist leaders of tomorrow.
We embrace this mandate in tangible ways—with thriving affinity spaces, 文化响应式教学, anti-bias, 反种族主义课程, with the elevation and celebration of the richness of the many identities and cultural traditions that comprise our community, 提供全性别咨询和居住空间. And there is also more subtle, less concrete work to do. We must also scrutinize our culture and confront and contest those attitudes, 实践, and assumptions that create barriers to building a fully 包容 community.
We invite you to learn more about the progress that has been made and the work that is being done—both immediate changes and longer-term efforts that we will continue to grow—as we work together to leave Thacher a better, 更多的荣誉, 包容, 然后在我们找到它的地方.

土地确认
在撒切尔学校, 我们承认，我们所居住的土地, labor and experience deep community upon was stolen from the Chumash peoples, and that their descendants who survived Spanish Colonization remain in their homeland which extends past what we know to be Morro Bay to the North, 马里布南部, 贝克斯菲尔德往东, 以及西面的海峡群岛.
We also acknowledge the unique role educators and student-centered practitioners play in teaching histories that reflect the nation’s founding, which includes reflection on the policies that led to the enslavement, massacre, removal and forced assimilation of the Indigenous peoples across what we now know as the United States.
Together, we must remain curious as we explore the connection between the current social, economic, 环境, and political inequalities experienced by current BIPOC communities and their roots in historical colonial violence that has been exerted for centuries against Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, 包括夏威夷原住民, 阿拉斯加原住民, 因纽特人和土著加勒比人, and forcefully marginalized communities around the globe.
即使我们尽职尽责地管理着这片土地, water, 和月球谷的资源, we remember that the Chumash have been separated from the spaces we call home. 虽然这个声明很简短, 它反映了多样性办公室的承诺, 公平与包容 in supporting efforts that center inquiry and healing, 对自己, others, 和我们居住的空间.
我们庆祝土著校友和学生, 欢迎土著学者, faculty and staff celebrate cultural relations with local Chumash elders, appreciating the faculty and staff who have paved the way and the Chumash elders who have chosen to engage with this relational spirit of the institution.
