"I went to this two years ago and it was easily the best, most worthwhile, JEDI education-related event I've ever participated in. Specifically geared towards early childhood, and most of the presenters/participants were from small, independent schools. I highly recommend!"
The Greater Philadelphia Diversity Collaborative promotes healthy, socially conscious, and culturally responsive preschool through 8th-grade communities by keeping initiatives of difference, social justice, and equity at the forefront of our respective schools’ views. We actively provide GPDC educators & students with tools to address issues of social justice, equity, and anti-racist concepts in our member schools.
The School in Rose Valley is a progressive school for preschool through sixth-grade children. In our classrooms and our wooded campus, teachers and students create experiences that arouse curiosity, stretch muscles, strengthen initiative, and stimulate questions. We guide children to know themselves, to delight in learning, and to understand their opportunities and responsibilities in our community and the world. Situated on 9.5 acres outside Media, PA, SRV is easily accessible from Philadelphia, Wilmington, and the surrounding suburbs.
