NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

The School is an Equal Opportunity Employer. It is our policy to administer all of our employment practices, including those pertaining to recruitment, hiring, placement, transfer, promotion or compensation, layoff or termination, and selection for training in a nondiscriminatory manner without regard to age, color, sex, national origin, disability, race, religion, or status of a Vietnam veteran or on any other basis prohibited by federal, state, or local law. The School will also make reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship.

Any employee with a question or concern about discrimination in the workplace is encouraged to bring their concern to the attention of the Head of School and/or Principal(s) or their designee. If the Head of School and/or Principal(s) is allegedly of concern with regard to discrimination, the individual shall bring the question or concern to the attention of the Co-founders. If the Co-founders are allegedly of concern with regard to discrimination, the individual shall bring the question or concern to the attention of the Board. No reprisal will be permitted for raising concerns or making a report. Anyone determined to have engaged in discrimination or retaliation for a report of discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
