Restorative justice at HU-MS².

HU-MS² uses a restorative approach to conflict resolution and discipline, treating misconduct — academic or behavioral — as an opportunity for reflection, repair, and growth rather than punishment alone. This approach is embedded in our IB Inclusion Policy and in how our advisory/homeroom program and school counseling team support scholars. Restorative justice efforts are led by our Dean of Student Culture and supported by our grade-level assistant deans and social workers.

How it works

Reflection, repair, and growth.

Understand the impact

Educational conversations help scholars understand the impact of their actions.

Repair and rebuild

Opportunities to repair harm and rebuild trust with peers, teachers, or the community.

Partner with families

Partnership with families, and referral to school counseling or administration when needed.

University support

Alignment with Howard University’s counseling and psychology program partnerships.

Restorative practice is one part of how we nurture the whole child.
