My students live in a place which is a small town and big city all rolled into one. While everyone on campus seems to know everyone else, at the same time our students face many of the challenges (poverty, homelessness, unique family situations) which are characteristic of urban schools. The benefit of this circumstance is the incredible diversity of the student population. We have a huge number of English language learners and students with disabilities, studying and learning amongst other students of all races, nationalities, religions, and socio-economic groups. Because of this, students learn to co-exist with others who are both the same as and very different from themselves in every possible way; the culture of our school tends to be very open-minded, creating a safe climate for self-expression and self-exploration through and alongside academics. While conflict is a part of these processes, the benefits of the school's diversity definitely outweigh the hurdles.
