At The Anchor School, we nurture the development of the whole child in an equitable learning environment. To us, equity means that every learner, including English learners, students with disabilities, and students at risk of academic failure, receives the supports required to be successful and have an equal opportunity to thrive. We accomplish educational equity as teachers use cultural knowledge, prior experience, frames of reference, and understanding of students’ individual learning styles to make our rigorous, standards-aligned curriculum relevant to their daily lives. Outcomes are not pre-determined by race, socioeconomic status, trauma, or other factors. We believe that if we create a healing learning environment that simultaneously empowers children to use their knowledge and skills to practice addressing systems of oppression and helps them to cultivate their mindset to fight for justice, they will be the leaders who create a free and equitable world.
