Equity
Equity vision
Breck is committed to the values & work of diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI) within every aspect of school life. They know that a thriving community is one that is diverse, embracing the richness of varying perspectives & leaning into the discourse that comes with difference. While diversity is an expression of different identities, both visible & invisible, equity is the work to ensure that all community members have access to all the opportunities the institution provides. Inclusion is the process of ensuring that every community member has a deep sense of belonging within the school community.
At Breck, they believe that it is only through a commitment to DEI work that all of their graduates will embrace a life of intellectual curiosity, self-knowledge, & social responsibility. When this is not achieved for one, this is not lived for all.
