In line with the ACS Identity and Mission Statements, Core Values, Student Profile, and our commitment to Global Advocacy, ACS aspires to be a place free from any form of oppression or prejudice.

Standing up for the human rights of all is at the core of our commitment. This learning is essential for community building and for our students to thrive and succeed in our increasingly globalized world.

We realize that being fortunate enough to have over 45 nationalities in our community is not enough.

We must ensure that beliefs, policies, and structures create opportunities and outcomes that are truly fair and accessible to all; meaning that each person receives what they need to develop to their fullest potential.
