We are committed to fostering a learning environment where each individual feels a genuine sense of belonging. This commitment is rooted in our core values of integrity, empathy, respect, and personal growth.

We believe that diversity in all its forms—racial, cultural, linguistic, gender, and beyond—enriches the educational experience and strengthens our school community. Our students, faculty, staff, and families bring a wide range of identities and perspectives that help shape Maplewood into a place of dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect.

Over the years, we have taken intentional steps to deepen our work in equity, inclusion, and belonging. These include student-led clubs and affinity spaces, staff development in inclusive teaching practices, and community-wide initiatives that encourage open conversation and cultural exchange.

We are proud of our progress and remain committed to ongoing reflection and growth. At Maplewood Academy, we believe that creating an inclusive and empowering community is not a destination, but a continuous journey—one that prepares our students to lead with compassion, think critically, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
