Director's views on diversity:
In terms of diversity, we do mirror the city in terms of families - we have many different family structures represented. Our student population is composed of a wide array of ethnicities and cultures. Because we are tuition based with limited financial aid, we do not reflect the socio-economic pattern in the larger city. We do not require families to provide detailed demographic identification, relying on those aspects which they choose to identify as representational.
