About Quoir Academy

Quoir Academy is an online learning platform dedicated to amplifying the voices that bring hope, healing, and guidance to anyone who has questioned their faith, doubted the easy answers, and wondered "what if...?"

Our courses cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from issues of faith, equity and equality, personal development, spiritual and emotional wholeness, and more.

Our goal is to help everyone who attends our courses and webinars to become a better version of themselves so our world becomes a better place where everyone can thrive.

At Quoir Academy, we are dedicated to the following core principals:

• Diversity and Representation: Foster an inclusive environment that embraces the richness of diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives, centering the voices of Black folks, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and women.

• Equity and Access: Ensure equitable access to resources, education, and opportunities for all learners, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status.

• Intersectionality: Recognize and address the overlapping systems of oppression that affect individuals based on multiple aspects of their identity, including race, gender, sexuality, and religion (or lack thereof).

• Empowerment through Education: Commit to elevating marginalized voices through transformative learning experiences that equip learners to challenge societal inequalities and advocate for social justice.

• Inclusive Excellence: Strive for academic and personal growth by creating a space where diverse perspectives and talents are recognized, respected, and celebrated.

• Community and Belonging: Cultivate a community where all individuals feel a sense of belonging and validation, and where collaboration and mutual respect are foundational.

• Whole-Person Development: Encourage the holistic development of learners, recognizing their intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions, whether they come from religious, spiritual, or secular backgrounds.

• Cultural Competency: Promote understanding and sensitivity to the diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences of students, faculty, and staff, ensuring a respectful and supportive environment.

• Ethical Responsibility: Instill a sense of ethical responsibility in learners to contribute positively to society by addressing social, racial, and economic injustices.

• Lifelong Learning and Adaptability: Inspire a commitment to lifelong learning, encouraging adaptability, self-reflection, and growth in an ever-changing, diverse world.

These values emphasize the academy's mission to create a transformative learning environment that nurtures whole human beings and amplifies marginalized voices.
