On March 18 and 19, The Center for Diversity Education took 150 students to Atlanta to visit various Houses of Worship from different faiths. Quotes from the trip to follow soon. Here are some pictures from the trip. To view more, visit our Facebook photo page.  Please scroll down the page to learn more about all of our K-12 programs.

The Center for Diversity Education has worked in K-12 schools throughout Western North Carolina since 1995.  All programs directed at K-12 schools connect to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.  Local citizens may be familiar with "Festivals of Light ", a Road Show offered each December, or the internationally traveling "Anne Frank: A History for Today" exhibit, hosted by the Center in 2001 and in 2007.  However, there are many more services available for students and teachers through the Center for Diversity Education. In the 2009/2010 school year, the Center worked with approximately 18,000 students and teachers in 5 counties in Western North Carolina.
