Background

Background & Context

During the 2020-21 academic year, Trinity Episcopal School launched a comprehensive strategic planning process. The strategic plan was developed to provide a long-range view of future school priorities created through a highly inclusive and participatory process. A steering committee was formed and focused on research, environmental scans, SWOT analysis, committee exercises, and trends in the independent school and the education sector. In order to build a base of sound information and to guide the planning process, the school enlisted the assistance of a research and planning firm, Ian Symmonds & Associates. The strategic planning steering committee worked collaboratively through a series of exercises designed to establish priorities based upon the findings of the research.

Due to an ever changing world during the pandemic and a change in school leadership, this process has continued into the fall of 2024. The steering committee in partnership with the new head of school refined strategic goals, outlined specific initiatives and action plans, and developed a series of sequenced priorities.
