As a national school of character, we reaffirm our core values of respect, responsibility and compassion in the treatment of all people regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality. To this end, Union Academy does not tolerate racial prejudice, discrimination or injustice. Racism of any kind is anathema to the ideals and values upon which Union Academy was founded and now stands. Moving forward, Union Academy is committed to doing its part as a school to end systemic racism in society. We are a school where every student, parent, teacher and community member should feel known, safe, supported and respected. More than ever, we are a school community committed to advancing the noble goals of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Union Academy will continue working to ensure that all voices are heard and represented in our school community. We remain resolute to develop in our students the confidence and character to make their own voices heard in a complex, challenging and changing world.
