Policies & Acknowledgments

Countryside School is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.

Countryside School admits academically qualified students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual identity, race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its education policies, admission policies, scholarship programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.

The Head of School or designee shall develop and maintain a bullying prevention and response plan that advances the School’s goal of providing all students with a safe learning environment free of bullying. Bullying diminishes a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate. Preventing students from engaging in bullying behaviors and providing all students equal access to a safe, non-hostile learning environment are important School goals.  Bullying on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender-related identity or expression, ancestry, age, religion, physical or mental disability, association with a person or group with one or more of the aforementioned actual or perceived characteristics, or any other distinguishing characteristic is prohibited.

Countryside School respectfully acknowledges that we are on the traditional lands of the Kickapoo, Miami, Kaskaskia, and Peoria Nations.
