Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging

Inclusive Teaching, Learning, and Leading with Purpose

At Castilleja, we are seeking to address racism and racialization with honesty, courage, and clarity of conviction. As we progress in our antiracist practice, it is important for us as a community to recognize that this transformative work produces a necessary tension that can often feel destabilizing. 

In the summer of 2020, we deepened our commitment to becoming a more just and equitable community. Building from the Leadership Competencies already embedded in our curriculum, we defined five Antiracism Competencies. Our shared work to address systemic and institutionalized racism will depend on students and employees honing these habits of mind to inspire needed change throughout all aspects of campus life and beyond. We are using this framework to build a more inclusive community for everyone, no matter what their identities are.
