At Mount Michael Benedictine we believe that diversity of all kinds enables us to better understand ourselves and others, value multiple lived experiences, practice advocacy, and become co-conspirators and activists toward creating a more just and equitable world.

We define diversity as inclusive of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, family structure, neurodiverse learning styles, age, ability, nationality, immigration status, physical appearance, religion, belief systems, language, and more. A diverse, inclusive, and respectful community enhances the academic and emotional intelligence of all students and lays the foundation for them to make a change in meaningful and mindful ways.

Mount Michael admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin. God created every human being; Jesus Christ died to save every human being. Consequently, every human being is of inestimable value, no exceptions.  At the Last Supper Jesus washed the feet of his disciples.  In his rule, St. Benedict insisted that monks vie with one another to be of service to others.  As a Catholic, Benedictine school, we strive above all to be of service to our students and to their families.  We aspire to these goals integrating our Catholic faith, our Benedictine heritage, and the guidelines for education of the Archdiocese of Omaha.
