Community

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

A Founding Commitment

We fundamentally understand that our diversity is our strength. Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity (DEI) focus is at the forefront of our culture, and we move forward knowing that the country’s and the world’s current socio-political climate are often at odds with Archer’s mission and vision.

Data shows diversity and academic excellence are interwoven, and social diversity enhances creativity and improves critical thinking. We believe that cross-cultural empathy and understanding are also vital to helping all students realize their true potential. Beyond admitting students from diverse backgrounds, we are committed to fostering a healthy, inclusive community where all students have equal access to opportunity and can thrive academically and socially. 
The Archer School for Girls admits students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status in its hiring or in the administration of its educational policies and programs, admissions policies, financial aid programs or other school-administered programs. 

The Archer School for Girls’ mission is to educate students in an environment specifically designed for girls. As such, the school will consider any candidate for admission who identifies as a girl. Once admitted to Archer, all students in good academic standing who abide by Archer’s code of conduct and who meet requirements for graduation will be eligible to receive an Archer diploma, regardless of any change in sexual identity or other legally protected status.
