Our Mission

The Raleigh School is a cooperative community of children, parents, and teachers that fosters a love of learning in an atmosphere of challenge, inquiry, and respect.

Our mission does not stand alone; it depends on the community that lives it. We believe that learning is deepest and most enduring when shaped by a wide range of voices, perspectives, and experiences. This belief leads us to nurture a community of belonging, one that recognizes differences as vital to growth.

Diversity Statement

The Raleigh School is an inclusive, active partnership of parents, educators, and children built on a foundation of respect. As a school community, we honor the identities of all children and families and are committed to building a safe community where every member feels a strong sense of belonging. The Raleigh School is open to change and is committed to growth as we strive to prepare children to be active, culturally competent citizens.
