Can students opt out of social justice discussions or activities?

At Crossroads, social justice is woven into everyday learning. It’s just as much a part of school life as math or reading. Students aren’t expected to become activists, but they are encouraged to ask questions, join in on class conversations, and think about what’s happening in the world around them. These topics are handled with care, and teachers are great at creating space for different perspectives. If something feels especially sensitive, there are always options for how to participate in a way that feels comfortable. And if parents ever have concerns, they’re encouraged to reach out. The goal is always thoughtful, respectful learning that meets students where they are.
