Opening minds and hearts through learning experiences that transform education and empower educators and students to combat discrimination, injustice, and hate.
Classrooms Without Borders has four major tenets surrounding the core of our mission:
EDUCATION
The power of educators can impact and influence the culture and climate to create a more global community.
INCLUSIVITY
Recognition and understanding of other traditions inspires cross-cultural tolerance and respect.
COLLABORATION
Collaboration and communication creates a world without borders, promoting tolerance and combating discrimination.
HOLOCAUST & ISRAEL
Understanding the roots of antisemitism and its contemporary manifestations exposes the dangers of hatred and intolerance.
These tenets shape the programming, partnerships, and strategy for the entirety of the organization.
