Botanists and Herbalists know that a diverse ecosystem is a healthy ecosystem. In that spirit and keeping in mind the current political climate, we would like to share our school's statement on diversity and inclusivity. The Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine honors diversity, and we do not discriminate based on race, sex, gender expression, religion, disability, sexual orientation, immigration status, military status, or anything else that divides us as people. We believe that everyone deserves access to health care and education, and we are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment to all students, staff, clients, customers, and vendors. We actively encourage our students to be aware of how others experience the world, to become conscious of their own privilege, and to empathize with all beings. By clicking the box below, you are agreeing that if accepted into the school, you will treat all people with respect. *
