Distinctive Schools is closed today in honor of Juneteenth. As an organization, we will honor the importance of this day in American history. In solidarity with our staff, families & students, and aligned to a growing number of companies across the country, we close our office and campus doors for a day of remembrance and response to systemic racism, and to commemorate our commitment to continued progress in our own equity work as an organization.
We will continue to cultivate an organization together that focuses on inclusivity and solidarity across all lines of difference in our world. We hope you will take a moment to reflect, honor and observe this historic day.
Happy Father's Day! To all of our Distinctive dads, dads-to-be, father figures, grandfathers and those who are simply grateful for their own dads – we thank you for the integral role you play in guiding and educating the next generation. Thank you for your care, compassion and wisdom you bring to our work every day.
At Distinctive Schools, we design our school experiences by, for and with teachers. We are proud to have been a trailblazer in designing a benefits package that supports our incredible staff, including our implementation of 12 week fully paid family leave last school year, in addition to existing mental health and wellness supports, generous paid time off and more.
