2023–2024
DEAR MEMBERS OF THE NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL COMMUNITY,
The 2023-2024 year marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next as we celebrated all that we had accomplished through our 2014-2024 strategic directions Inspired Education: Innovation, Inclusivity, and Impact, and launched a new 10-year plan. We have much to be proud of in the last decade, and much to look forward to in the years ahead.
Embracing high-level strategic directions, to serve as a “compass” rather than a detailed “map,” has allowed Nashoba Brooks to successfully navigate turbulent times and the rapidly changing landscape surrounding independent schools. Over the last decade, Nashoba Brooks has marked many notable achievements driven by our strategic directions:
Innovation
• Launched multi-age preschool and transitional kindergarten programs.
• Engaged all employees in impactful professional development.
• Restructured the Student Support Team to provide 360° support for students.
• Introduced a flex enrollment model, bolstered by the construction of three new flex classrooms and space renovations that support our dynamic program.
Inclusivity
• Expanded transportation services.
• Launched a five-year, full-tuition STEAM Scholarship for students entering in Grade 4.
• Completed year-long proactive assessment with the Glasgow Group to support our efforts to build an inclusive community.
Impact
• Built and expanded a robust and unique comprehensive compensation package for employees.
• Implemented a bold and forward-focused reVision Tuition initiative that reduced tuition by approximately 5% each year for three years, making Nashoba Brooks more accessible to students and families who are a strong match for Nashoba Brooks.
• Expanded community programming on campus.
• Participated in the Global Action Research Collaborative (GARC) sponsored by the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools; and built effective partnership with parents in support of student learning, including providing access to occupational therapy and speech-language pathology services on campus.
• Grew enrollment by an average of approximately 15 students each year for the last three years.
The outcomes of our 10-year strategic directions exceeded all expectations.
While we worked diligently to prepare and launch our new set of strategic directions in the spring of 2024, we continued to advance our work toward near- and long-term goals. Employees engaged in intensive training focused on building inclusive communities and supporting the emotional health of students. We received two generous challenge gifts in support of the Nashoba Brooks Fund, helping to raise awareness for the School’s annual fundraising effort that enables us to provide outstanding learning experiences through financial assistance, field trips, professional development, and more, while also helping to ensure the strength of our exceptional program with a commitment to a competitive price point that is significantly below many of our peer schools.
In June of 2024, we also received a generous challenge gift specifically focused on The Campaign for Our Future to inspire support for the renovation of our Arts Platform, highlighting our outstanding visual and performing arts program through which so many students learn to express themselves creatively, collaborate with peers effectively, draw meaningful connections in their studies, and gain confidence to explore new learning opportunities in and beyond the classroom. We need to raise $600,000 more to release the matching gift, honor our commitment to the arts at Nashoba Brooks, and achieve our $10M goal for the Campaign.
We begin the 2024-2025 year with renewed energy and strong momentum. We start the year celebrating authentic leadership at every level in our new Stepping Up Ceremony, the addition of the new Transitional Kindergarten program, and the implementation of a new school-wide, social-emotional learning curriculum. We look forward to enjoying the new fitness studio and the community commons, which were added this summer, enhancing opportunities to promote healthy learning and connection. Excitement is high as we explore the many opportunities for Nashoba Brooks to Spark, Sustain, and Soar in the decade ahead.
Your continued partnership and philanthropic support make Nashoba Brooks a truly exceptional learning community and a transformational experience for children. As we report on the accomplishments of the past year and look toward the future, we express our heartfelt gratitude for this remarkable community. Thanks to you, Nashoba Brooks School can provide a space where students engage in learning that empowers them to connect with each other, find their voice, discover a lifelong love of learning, and become leaders who will shape our world in countless, powerful, and productive ways.
Sincerely,
Danielle Heard Head of School
Anne Elton President, Board of Trustees
