As parents and teachers we face daunting
questions. How do we tell our children they deserve to expect
greatness without setting them up for disappointment or creating
a sense of unearned privilege and entitlement? How do we instill
confidence and fearlessness without instilling arrogance? How
can we ensure they never doubt the right to their dreams and
ambitions without infringing on others? How do we shield them
from indignities, pain and anguish without producing an
over-protected cluelessness? How do we reconcile giving them
advantages we did not have with equity and social justice? How
do we teach our children to successfully navigate the world's
unfairness and to work for equality while admitting that
unfairness sometimes play to their advantage? At Abiqua, you
will find families willing to ask these tough questions and
committed to working to achieve this balance.
Abiqua School is committed to having a cultural cross-section of
students and faculty. The school considers applications for
admission as well as board and staff selection without regard to
race, religion, ethnic group or gender. We are dedicated to
making inclusiveness, fairness and justice obvious in our school
community. We strive to foster all aspects of diversity in our
school community including family configuration. We believe in
acknowledging, sharing and embracing our differences while
discovering all that we have in common.
