[quote=Anonymous]Looking for private schools where DEI is not a dedicated, structured part of the curriculum.

Some context: I'm a minority parent and I've thought a lot about this. My concern isn't with inclusion or kindness. I'm fully on board with both. My issue is with the approach of repeatedly asking kids to categorize themselves and each other by race, skin color, hair texture, and gender. In my experience, that kind of constant identification reinforces the very distinctions we're trying to move past.

My philosophy: the best way to raise kids who don't see each other through a racial lens is to model that in the classroom. Treat every child the same, hold everyone to the same standards, and let belonging be the baseline rather than something that has to be constructed through curriculum.

From what I know, schools with a dedicated DEI curriculum include:Poly Prep, Trevor Day, Town School, Sacred Heart, St Luke's and Friends Seminary.

Schools without standalone DEI curriculum: Basis

Would love to hear from others, especially minority parents, about schools that align with this philosophy. Any recs appreciated![/quote]
