Community Engagement & Belonging
Louisville Collegiate School’s mission is to inspire academic excellence, extraordinary character, and global citizenship. Central to our mission is our commitment to creating an inclusive community that nourishes students and families from all backgrounds and perspectives.
As such, we seek:
-
To enrich our students’ academic excellence by cultivating pedagogy, programming, and instructional resources that empower each of our students to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
-
To enhance our students’ extraordinary character by nurturing and fostering skills and practices at every age that contribute toward a community where each member feels a sense of belonging and engagement.
-
To develop students’ global citizenship by considering multiple perspectives and increasing a sense of responsibility to live, work, and engage respectfully with a diversity of people in an interconnected world.
As we teach, learn from, and celebrate the many differences that make up our school, we work together to uphold the pillars that embody the mission of the Louisville Collegiate School community. We expect our students and families to demonstrate integrity and respect for all individuals and to act in the best interests of others and the community as a whole by demonstrating honor, compassion, responsibility, and respect.
WORK IN ACTION
The Core Competencies are a key means by which Louisville Collegiate School cultivates the well-rounded development of the whole child. In addition to outstanding critical thinking, research, and communication skills, students are encouraged to nurture their curiosity and creative spirit to understand what it means to be healthy and balanced in a rapidly changing world and to act respectfully and meaningfully in their diverse communities.
Our Core Competencies framework includes one competency focused on Intercultural Engagement.
Black History Month
This website was created in 2022-23 by Collegiate alum Max LeDoux ’24 to highlight the lives and contributions of Black Americans in American History. The first four Black Americans featured on the website were presented by the Black Student Union for the Black History Month Upper School morning meeting. These four little-known Black Americans prioritized service in the Black community during their lives.
