Meeting Changing Needs Over a century ago, Castilleja was founded on ideals of equity in education as Mary Lockey worked to create opportunities for young women to prepare to succeed in college. A century later, Castilleja’s commitment to equity in education has grown to include a robust Tuition Assistance program that assures students with different financial needs all have access to this transformational education. This year, in the face of COVID-19, our definitions of equity shifted again as the pandemic created new hardships for families, and our campus closure required new strategies to support our students in the distance learning setting. Our students practice initiative, agility, and purpose as core leadership skills, and throughout this spring Castilleja’s leaders applied those skills while working to meet the changing needs of our community.
