Diversity breeds innovation - this is a fact that guides Make School's mission to ensure that higher education is accessible to all. We see diversity as a key element to the success of organizations and the tech community as a whole. We are building a college and a community that supports the learning and success of students from all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, and societal or economic backgrounds. We consider freedom of thought and the open exchange of ideas key to an effective learning environment. That kind of exchange can happen only in an environment that recognizes the value of each person and fosters mutual respect. As a college with small classes, we are uniquely positioned to provide individualized support that allows all students to succeed. Make School implements research-based strategies and policies to provide a safe, nurturing environment for women and underrepresented minorities to excel.
