LS: Open Doors
Open Doors is a program designed to educate students about diversity, equity, inclusivity, and belonging. It is geared toward fostering an appreciation of others. Open Doors teacher Ms. Belo creates thoughtful lessons, incorporating a diverse selection of literature and resources, for students to openly discuss their thoughts in a safe environment. The lessons build character and integrity, and help students reach continuously to a better self. Students benefit from lessons on how to be a better friend, how being themselves can help others, how to be respectful to everyone, and that empathy and compassion are good values.All Lower School students participate in an Open Doors lesson each trimester with Ms. Belo. In addition, kindergarten through fifth grade students may attend an after school session each trimester.

It is one of the nine holy days of the year when work is suspended and children are exempted from attending school.
The Baháʼí Faith (/bəˈhɑːʔiː, bəˈhaɪ/; Persian: بهائی Bahāʼi) is a new religion[a] teaching the essential worth of all religions and the unity of all people.[b] Established by Baháʼu'lláh in the 19th century, it initially developed in Persia and parts of the Middle East, where it has faced ongoing persecution since its inception.[13] The religion is estimated to have over five million adherents, known as Baháʼís, spread throughout most of the world's countries and territories.[14] -
