Strategies

Strategy 1 - Communications

• We will improve internal and external communications and clarify decision-making roles and procedures in order to promote an atmosphere of high morale and trust among the various School partners.

Strategy 2 - Curriculum

• We will develop, articulate, and implement an integrated curriculum, which sets achievement standards at all levels and defines appropriate assessment indicators.

Strategy 3 - Instruction

• We will develop and implement plans to ensure high-quality instruction in order to achieve our objectives.

Strategy 4 - Community Service

• We will develop and implement programs to encourage and facilitate participation by all students in meaningful and appropriate community service.

Parameters

We will accept no new program or service unless:

• it is consistent with the school’s plan;
• its benefits clearly justify costs;
• it includes provisions for staff development and program evaluation;
• it has sufficient funds for effective implementation.

We will retain no program or service unless:

• its benefits continue to justify costs;
• it makes an optimal contribution to achieving the mission.

We will always insist on a high standard of performance by faculty, staff, and students. We will not tolerate any behavior that diminishes the dignity or self-worth of any individual or group.
