The Strategic Planning Process

The highly inclusive and collaborative process that included all Academy constituent groups helped determine our direction to ensure that high quality and faith-filled education, for which the Academy is known, is maintained for generations to come. In addition to analyzing facts and figures, dialogue was key to providing the steering committee with knowledge, insight, and understanding — a fundamental ingredient to sustainability, growth, and change. The result is a bold plan that defines strategic goals and objectives for seven pillars that will inform the next chapter in the Academy’s history.
