At Beaver, we are intentional in all that we do to ensure our students thrive in middle school and are also prepared for what’s next—at Beaver, in the upper school, and in the world beyond.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are deeply committed to creating an inclusive community.
In the BVR Middle School, the ABCs of inclusion (Affirm Identity, Build Community, and Cultivate Leadership Skills) are an important part of our approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This simple mnemonic device from Beverly Tatum, Ph.D., provides an outline for critical dimensions of effective learning environments.

Beaver is a pioneer in the EdTech space. Our teachers and students have the dedicated resources, space, and support to develop their tech skills and take their knowledge to the next level.
But what’s most important about technology at Beaver is our mindset around it: We view technology as a tool to enhance learning. When it makes sense to use, we use it.
