In the words of Head of School Mark Davis: “Listening respectfully to viewpoints that challenge our own, learning from people who have different life experiences than we do, and examining our own assumptions, even when that makes us uncomfortable, are essential to a civil society and critical for students to learn as they grow as leaders.”
