COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
UES aims for a student population that represents the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of California’s schools. The diversity of our families enhances and enriches the learning environment, provides opportunities for children’s growth, strengthens our community and helps us conduct research and develop curricula that are relevant for a wide variety of schools.
