Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Recap video from our 2022 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Symposium

Diversity at a Glance
One of the greatest strengths of Rolling Hills Prep and Renaissance Schools is the diversity of our student body. Our vibrant community includes families from 37 different zip codes and, in a typical year, four or five different foreign countries. In a 21st century global society, it becomes ever more important that we live, work, and study with a multiplicity of people who are not just like ourselves. This quality of life at Rolling Hills Prep and Renaissance Schools may be one of the most important aspects of preparation for success in college and beyond.

- 42% students of color
- 6% international students
- 53% students have learning differences
- Over 30 different zip codes
- 43.4% of students receive financial aid
- 34% faculty of color
- 30% board members of color

These guidelines are community agreements, adapted and developed from a collaborative effort of our faculty, utilized to help facilitate discussions and navigate difficult topics. Teachers and students alike are mindful of and practice adhering to these guidelines when engaging in dialogue that may at times be unfamiliar or uncomfortable.

Land Acknowledgement
We are grateful for the beautiful landscape that is home to our three schools of Rolling Hills Prep, Renaissance and REACH. We recognize that Indigenous Peoples are the traditional stewards of the land on which this campus resides. This is the traditional territory of the Tongva peoples, who are known to have inhabited the southern portion of what is today Los Angeles County. It is necessary to acknowledge the painful history of genocide and dispossession of their land via the environmental disruption imposed upon them by settlers. The preservation of Native histories, identities and cultures is vital to the intellectual and social development of our community. We offer respect and gratitude to the many Indigenous peoples who reside in the Los Angeles area as well as their ancestors.
