DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND ACCESSIBILITY statement

K&S Conservatory of Music recognizes that we live in a country where historically one culture has been dominant at the expense of cultural plurality and equality. This has contributed to systemic racism that assumes that white culture is inherently more valuable than all others. This institutional and structural racism has been allowed to exist for too long. K&S Conservatory of Music is committed to making society and our institution a more equitable place where all will thrive.

We will act deliberately to end racial injustices and structural inequalities and to offer a learning environment that is equitable, inclusive, and that respects and celebrates the differences of everyone regardless of age, culture, race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, and disability. We will speak out clearly against bigotry, racism, and hate crimes of all kinds.

Our mission is to encourage personal growth through music education. We will work to establish valuable and innovative partnerships to create lasting change. We believe that K&S Conservatory of Music’s continued commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility will influence and enhance the community and the City where we live and work.
