Lausanne is a community that will never tolerate any form of discrimination, intolerance or ignorance from its students, faculty/staff/administration, parents or any other Lausanne community members. We promote diversity and inclusion within all areas of our community. Therefore, as an educational institution, Lausanne’s goal is to foster a community that evokes positive change in the world.
Lausanne is committed to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates differences and promotes dialogue through various perspectives.
We continually practice this objective through facilitating education on, exposure to and engagement with diverse perspectives within the Lausanne community, the greater Memphis area and the world at large.
