Our Priorities: 

A key initiative in the 5-year Strategic Plan introduced in the fall of 2019 is to “Cultivate a diverse, empathetic, and inclusive community of learners by fostering a safe environment where all voices feel a sense of value and belonging.” The ten initiatives of this plan fall under three main priorities:

• -Build a trusting environment where all voices feel safe and valued; build an empathetic and inclusive community that nurtures a sense of belonging

• -Recognize and uplift diverse experiences and perspectives

• -Shape our individual and collective narratives to show that we value diversity and inclusion, hold ourselves accountable, and empower the community to uphold our ethical standards.
• 
  

DEI at PRS:

• At Pacific Ridge, we value our community's unique perspectives and experiences and believe that each elevates the learning experience for all. Over a third of Pacific Ridge students identify as people of color, as defined by the National Association of Independent schools. Diversity is represented on our campus in many other ways. We provide a supportive environment in which students can explore their own understanding of gender, ability, race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, as well as notions of equity and justice.
