Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

People of Color Conference

The People of Color Conference (PoCC) is the flagship of the National Association of Independent Schools’ commitment to equity and justice in teaching, learning, and organizational development. The mission of the conference is to provide a safe space for leadership, professional development, and networking for people of color and allies of all backgrounds in independent schools.

we are (working to extend anti-racist education)

we are provides anti-racism training for children, parents, and educators, using a three-pronged approach to dismantle systemic racism in education by offering summer camps for children, workshops for parents, and professional development for educators.

Teachers expose students to a variety of cultures, values and life experiences throughout their curricula. Literature is used both as a way of mirroring students’ experiences and allowing students to peek through a window and develop a deeper understanding of the lives of those who differ from them.

International Week

This annual celebration highlights the diverse cultures around the world, as well as the heritages of school community members. Students participate in hands-on workshops led by parents, teachers and community members. Past workshops have included an Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony, Latin Dancing, Stories of the Philippines and more. Students get a taste of different cultures at the International Cafe.

Middle School Minimesters

During this day of learning off-campus, there is always at least one trip that connects to issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. In recent years, students have traveled to the International Civil Rights Center and Museum.

Students to Scholars

Triangle Day School is proud to partner with Students to Scholars (S2S), a local non-profit created in early 2017 by a Boys & Girls Club volunteer as a way to help interested Club members gain access to an education that is culturally diverse, has a low pupil-to-teacher ratio, and offers variety and rigor in its academic courses. The placement of academically qualified, at-risk youth in independent schools is made possible through school-based financial aid, Opportunity Scholarships, and contributions from other sources.

Triangle Independent Schools Consortium

The Triangle Independent School Consortium is composed of admission professionals from Triangle area independent schools. Our Consortium evolved out of the desire of the member schools to work collaboratively in an effort to ease and enhance the admission process for the students, families, and schools involved.

TISC member schools work together to host a school fair each fall to recruit students of color to local independent schools.

Hill Learning Center

Hill Learning Center offers a unique half-day program for students with learning differences. This partnership supports students and strengthens the academic diversity of our student body.
