Welcome to the Sage Center
The Hamoui Family Sage Center for Innovative Curriculum is an integral part of the student experience here at Sage Hill. The Sage Center houses signature programs carefully designed by our team to help students develop core competencies they need to become courageous and compassionate participants of local and global communities.Through our programming and leadership, we cultivate meaningful connections and facilitate courageous conversations. We offer Sage Hill students a pathway toward global education, experiential learning, service-oriented civic engagement, and more. We are committed to equipping our kids with the skills they need to be leaders of tomorrow, through intentional engagement with the world they live in today.This work is grounded in our commitment to creating a school environment where every student feels seen, respected and valued. We recognize that policy and action shape culture, and we are committed to the ongoing development of an inclusive school community in which each and every member can feel a deep sense of belonging and purpose.I welcome you all to connect with the Sage Center, and invite you to explore our work further as you navigate through our program pages.Sincerely,Sanan Shirinian (she/her)

Community, Culture & Belonging
At Sage Hill, we believe in leading through example, especially in our efforts to foster a school where community, culture and belonging are foundational to the student experience.
Through a range of student-centered programs, faculty development opportunities and community partnerships, we are committed to building a school culture that is welcoming, representative and deeply purposeful. Our student leadership initiatives, including affinity groups and Sage Advocates for Multicultural Education, help create space for identity exploration, peer connection, and courageous conversation. Meanwhile, faculty and staff engage in ongoing training and reflection to deepen their inclusive practices and foster classrooms where all students feel seen and supported.
We are also proud to partner with local organizations, from the native tribal leadership council to dozens of NGOs, who help us ground our work in context, relevance, and reciprocity. Through initiatives like Spring at Sage, the Speaker Series, and our Service Learning program, students are invited to think critically about their role in the world and to contribute meaningfully to the communities around them.
Together, these efforts reflect our belief that belonging is not a single initiative, but a shared responsibility that touches every corner of campus life.
