TEA embraces Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging as vital for developing the whole child from a place of gratitude and joy. Students at TEA are supported in bringing their diverse cultures, experiences and perspectives into our learning community. Additionally, they are supported in building empathy, collaborating with and learning from others, and developing the strength of character to speak up and advocate passionately for themselves and others. We strive to create a learning environment that encourages students to grapple with real-world challenges and build their capacity to engage in constructive discourse about complex problems.

We believe that the intellectual, emotional, social, and psychological development of our students happens most effectively in a community that embraces and values diversity, whether based on cultural and ethnic background, nationality, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, religion or creed, ability/disability, political orientation, learning style, age, or generation.
