Non-discrim­i­na­tion Policy as to Students
The Amherst Nursery School welcomes fami­lies and admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, priv­i­leges, programs, and activ­i­ties gener­ally accorded or made avail­able to students at the school. It does not discriminate ­nate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, marital status, disabil­ity, and age in admin­is­tra­tion of its educa­tional poli­cies, admis­sions poli­cies, schol­ar­ship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Diver­sity and Personal Respect
The Amherst Nursery School embraces diver­sity and values the integrity of the indi­vid­ual. Indi­vid­ual differ­ences of reli­gion, culture, socioe­co­nomic status, national origin, race, ethnic­ity, biolog­i­cal sex, gender iden­tity, gender expres­sion, sexual orien­ta­tion, phys­i­cal appear­ance, and ability are acknowl­edged and respected. Every member of the commu­nity strives to behave in a sensi­tive, open, and respectful manner.

A diverse student body is an essen­tial compo­nent of an expe­ri­en­tial educa­tion. Students are most able to under­stand, appre­ci­ate, and respect differ­ences in a setting that includes these differ­ences. Amherst Nursery seeks a diverse commu­nity in order to fulfill its mission to provide a strong, educa­tion for all students.
