The NPES mission and educational program embraces the diversity of our community. We take intentional actions to create an equitable and affirming environment for our students, their caregivers, and our faculty and staff, and we aspire to create a sense of belonging for each of our learners. Our inquiry-based curriculum places high value on multiculturalism and the role of diverse perspectives. We seek to help students develop a robust understanding of themselves and the world around them and inculcate an appreciation for how differences strengthen and enrich our community.
