Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Be who you are, all the time.

At Branson we strive to build – to use Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s phrase – a “Beloved Community,” based on justice, equal opportunity, and love for all fellow human beings, where all members are important and interconnected. We do this to better prepare our students for the world of tomorrow.

We also seek to model diversity as excellence. Research shows that diverse groups make better decisions, solve problems more readily and effectively, and generally experience better outcomes than groups that are homogeneous. Through exposure to diverse experiences and ongoing critical reflection, we are reimagining education and redefining brilliance.

Students, we want you to feel like you can show up at Branson as your authentic self, express your views openly and with dignity, have your differences celebrated, and feel seen and valued both for your strengths and your areas of growth. We know that when this is true, your learning will be deeper, richer, and will leave you better prepared for wherever your path will take you.
