The program describes immersing children in nature within a highly academic yet loving environment. Golestan Kids admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to students at the school, and it states that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
