Diversity-Equity-Inclusion
Based on their direct input and a deep understanding of our clients developed over the past six decades, the problem we are solving, and our vision, we established the behaviors and actions Aspire takes to meet its goals. This DEI statement encompasses the values and behaviors that are the essence of Aspire. They are the principles upon which we make our decisions. They are the heart and soul of Aspire and will not change over time.
DEI Statement
Honor the Journey
We believe anyone can start learning at any time, sparking limitless potential. We are motivated by our students’ desire to learn, because we know that confident learners can overcome obstacles and reach new heights, for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Lift Each Other Up
The bonds we form with students bolster our shared success in learning together. We model the behavior we want to see, so students learn to believe in themselves and to support one another. We break out of our comfort zones to listen, think, and respond to each other and our community with compassion and mutual respect.
Earn Trust
An essential part of a safe and welcoming environment is being present and accountable to our students every step of the way. We see each and every student and believe in their potential. When we earn their confidence in us, they gain the same confidence to meet the world on their terms.
Stay Grounded
Our students come to us with their own stories, struggles, and hopes for their future. We are honored to partner with them as they strive to make the most of their lives. We are all in this together, so we are constantly staying grounded in our role as compassionate and purposeful experts.
