Inclusion & Belonging

No matter where you come from, who you are, or what your background is, there is a place for you here. We believe our community is made better by perspectives from different races, ethnicities, genders, cultures, social classes, and lifestyles – and that all are equally important.

At BGA, we define diversity as a commitment to recognizing, respecting, and celebrating perspectives that differentiate us as individuals while bringing us together as a community. Elevating the model of equity and inclusion at Battle Ground Academy goes beyond simply preparing our students with the skills and empathy needed to be leaders and citizens of an increasingly diverse world. We believe it is essential to our mission and to the values we hold dear. 

Nothing can stop the power of a committed and determined people to make a difference in our society. – Sen. John Lewis
