Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
at Landmark

Landmark’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Committee is working on both campuses and for our school as a whole to evaluate and strengthen our diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging efforts and programs. The DEIB Committee established a plan to help our students and faculty become informed, invested global citizens who have an awareness of inequality, injustice, and institutional racism. 

DEIB Mission Statement

In pursuit of our mission to enable and empower all students to reach their full potential, Landmark School is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, as those values are critical to creating an environment where we affirm, embrace, and respect the dignity of all community members.

DEIB Values

  • We strive for belonging, where all members of the community feel seen, supported, empowered, and affirmed, including any difference such as race, ethnicity, sex, age, body size, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability status, socioeconomic status, and immigration status. 

  • We will foster an environment where all members of the community can fully access and participate in the academic, social-emotional, extracurricular, and professional offerings of our institution. 

  • We expect respectful dialogue between differing intellectual, ideological, or political ideas.

  • We know words and actions matter: we will respectfully respond when someone is negatively impacted by words or actions, or when lack of action leads to unfair or hurtful treatment. We also recognize that our varied lived experiences and vantage points can deepen and enrich our community when dialogue is respectful and inclusive.

  • We all share in these responsibilities to hold our institution to these standards.
