Cultural Diversity

Every attempt is made to foster an appreciation for the cultural diversity of the student body. In general, about one third of the students are Caucasian, one third Hispanic and one third Asian. About 10-15% of the students are international students.

While English is the common language of the school, students are encouraged to maintain a fluency in their native language. In the freshmen dormitory, a conscious effort is made to ensure that each living area is culturally diverse. Helping students to appreciate other cultures, as well as assisting them in gaining the necessary skills to live in a diverse community, is a strong part of the freshman program.
