MISSION

WOMEN LEARNING  I  WOMEN LEADING

Castilleja School inspires a quest for knowledge and learning that lasts a lifetime.

To prepare our students for the wider world, we infuse our challenging college preparatory program with a global curriculum that fosters awareness, compassion, and engagement with issues beyond Castilleja. Our comprehensive academic program and extensive cocurricular offerings develop in each student the self-confidence to reach her full potential. Above all, our faculty and staff dedicate themselves to excellence in educating young women and in cultivating young leaders.

DIVERSITY

Commitment to Understand, Recognize, and Enhance Diversity

Castilleja School is first and foremost an educational community.  It is the collective responsibility of the faculty, students, staff, administration, parents, and trustees to sustain a framework conducive to learning and to foster behavior built on trust, respect, compassion, and appreciation for individual differences and ideas. 

All members of the community are entitled to their views, mutual respect, and courtesy.  The school will neither disparage any personal or family choice, belief, or point of view, nor condone any expression of intolerance for community members or the school’s commitment to diversity.

In order to prepare students for the world in which they will live, and in keeping with the Mission Statement, Castilleja School dedicates itself to an open environment in which all people, regardless of race, color, creed, gender, marital status, age sexual orientation, political beliefs, physical abilities, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or religion, can thrive.

Non-Discrimination Clause

Castilleja School values its rich diversity and does not discriminate in its admission policies, activities, academic, athletic and other school administered programs, or tuition assistance programs on the basis of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability in accordance with existing state or federal law or regulations.
