Ocean Charter School Diversity Statement

Ocean Charter School supports and embraces diversity in all its forms, including differences in ethnicity, cultural and religious heritage, sexual orientation, socio - economic background, geographic origin and family structure. We strive to provide our students with a rich, inclusive, Waldorf informed curriculum that reflects the urban environment in which we live and to foster a safe atmosphere where every member of the community is respected and multiple viewpoints can be peacefully expressed. Ocean Charter School actively seeks to achieve diversity in all aspects of school life including the composition of our student body, faculty, curriculum, administration, and board of Trustees. We believe this commitment to diversity will help our children successfully navigate the changing world they will one day inherit.

OCS's commitment to social justice promotes inclusion and equitable learning environments. Social justice provides fair and equal access to educational opportunities for all students; it encompasses a heart for sensitivity, a head for critical thinking, and a hand in social change. The OCS Waldorf educational approach accommodates a broad spectrum of learners and aims to achieve greater equity in academic achievement for all students.
