About | History
| Quakerism
In keeping with Quakers' longstanding commitment to respect for
differences the Mary McDowell Center for Learning strives to maintain
a culture of diversity with respect to income, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation and religion. The Center is committed
to attracting, admitting and retaining a student body, faculty,
staff and board of trustees that reflect the larger community of
New York City. It also welcomes students, faculty, staff and board
of trustees from nontraditional families, multicultural families,
and immigrant families. We believe that immersion in a diverse school
culture as well as educational training that helps children learn
more about and appreciate differences on a continuing basis should
be fundamental aspects of the school experience. This fosters respect
for difference, enhances personal growth and development and provides
essential preparation for the increasing diversity of higher education,
community life and the workplace.
