Anti-Racism Statement: Alma del Mar strives to be an anti-racist institution. We seek to dismantle racist and white supremacist structures in pursuit of justice and racial equity. We will fight against racism when we encounter it both within and outside of our school community.

By resisting racism and white supremacy, we will lay the foundation to challenge all forms of oppression.
