In the longstanding tradition and spirit of Episcopal schools, St. Michael’s School combines academic excellence with spiritual and moral formation, preparing students to lead productive lives, personally and professionally, and lives of service to others.
St. Michael’s School admits qualified students of any race, religion, and national or ethnic origin to all of the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to all students. The School does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national and ethnic origin, or sexual identity or orientation in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, tuition-assistance program, or athletic and other School programs.
Our identity as an Episcopal school is, by nature and theology, bound up inextricably with becoming a more inclusive community. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion (difference and belonging), and the honoring of the many ways in which human beings differ in our community today, is fundamental to what it means to be an Episcopal school, and the particular expression of Christianity to which our Episcopal schools are tied.
As an Episcopal school, St. Michael’s School grounds its commitment to diversity, equity, and belonging in the words of the Baptismal Covenant, “to respect the dignity of every human being,” and in our promise as Christians to “seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself,” striving for justice and peace among all people. Our pledge to respect the dignity of every human being rests on an abiding appreciation of our differences and of our common humanity as people of God. The same respect for all persons leads us to act in every instance with compassion, love, and integrity, and to challenge those behaviors that promote exclusion, intolerance, and mistrust.
