Diversity & Inclusion
As an Episcopal school, one of our fundamental tenets is inclusivity. We believe in an inclusive community where every member feels a sense of belonging and can be their authentic selves. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) are integral components of everyday life at St. Martin's. Our mission, core values and DEIB work are rooted in our Episcopal identity, which calls us to seek and serve God in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself.
As such, St. Martin's is committed to providing programming, training, curricular support and leadership for the school community, allowing for a deeper connection to our Episcopal identity.
With our school’s mission as a touchstone and staying true to our Episcopal identity, St. Martin’s values love, acceptance and respect for every individual's dignity. These values were the foundation for creating a set of community norms. These norms will help guide our entire community, from the classroom to the board room, as communication touchstones that define St. Martin’s Episcopal School.
