Culture

Area of focus: Culture

Strategic goal: Advance cultural intelligence and belonging 

We place cultural intelligence and belonging at the core O’Neill’s values—principles that we strive to live and model. Leveraging the commitment of students, faculty, and staff, we will increase the cultural awareness of the O’Neill community and foster and sustain a welcoming, supportive, and respectful environment for everyone who engages with our school. We will also draw on O’Neill’s multidisciplinary expertise to champion inclusive practices and equitable opportunities in society at large.
