Diversity - Seeds of Tolerance

Seeds of Tolerance has created the conditions for our students to viewseeds_of_tolerance_02.jpg tolerance as a way of thinking and feeling - and most importantly, a way of acting.  This is important because Brookview students represent a cross-section of the world.

We seek to build a foundation that gives Brookview "peace in our individuality, respect for those unlike us, the wisdom to discern humane values, and the courage to act upon them."

Our Seeds of Tolerance Project is a vital step in our institutional development. Our commitment to diversity has moved from an underpinning of our philosophy to defining who we are in the region.

Our ultimate goal is creating a diversity arts center -a haven, a meeting place and a clearinghouse that contributes to the richness of both the local area, enhances our connections to the global community and perhaps becomes a model for educators around the country.

Seeds of Tolerance is a groundbreaking project that includes diversity training and curriculum development, film screenings, exhibitions, local and national partnerships and innovative strategies for community outreach and dialogue. 

 

Brookview's continent rotation program also enriches the student experience by introducing different places and people along with the study of their culture, history, art, language, food, etc.
