Diversity and Inclusion
Justin-Siena's inclusive, diverse community makes it a vibrant and special school. Guided by the Lasallian Core Principles (faith in the presence of God; inclusive community; respect for all persons; quality education; and concern for the poor and social justice), our educators are inspired to “touch the hearts of the children entrusted to our care.”
As a Lasallian Catholic school, we aim to nurture social responsibility, respect for others, and appreciation of individual, cultural, and socioeconomic differences.
We are committed to promoting positive social relationships towards building a healthy school environment that consists of respectful, culturally sensitive interactions. These educational opportunities equip our students to think critically, engage compassionately, and lead justly.
With a mission to prepare students to serve and to lead in an ever-changing world, we seek to be a campus community that is constantly evolving, rising to the needs of our community, and meeting the contemporary moment.
