The mission statement of The Caedmon School states in part:
"As our world becomes evermore inter-dependent and our society more culturally diverse, we are determined that The Caedmon School community should reflect that connectedness and diversity. We honor and actively explore the varied backgrounds and traditions that are represented among us. We cultivate an environment in which emotional bonds are forged across potential barriers of language and culture, physical and intellectual difference, or social and economic disparity.”
At Caedmon, the endless variety of human society, culture, talent, and personality is explored throughout the curriculum, sought out and welcomed through admissions and hiring, and celebrated in the daily life of our school.
At the core of all our efforts lies the desire that each and every child and adult at Caedmon should grow with an inherent sense of their own identity and worth. We believe that only through such self-awareness, in an environment that is rich in human variety, will we be able to recognize and value the different, yet equally precious identity and worth of those around us. Our trust is that, by embracing our differences, we will come to recognize the hopes, fears, sorrows and joys we have in common, and so perpetuate true community.
