Our Future is Bright

by Kate Roach ’83, Chair, Nichols School Board of Trustees

We are pleased to share the Nichols School Strategic Plan 2023.

Our work on this plan began in September 2020, and was extended as the COVID-19 pandemic continued. The plan represents the efforts of many members of the Nichols community. We are grateful for the time and dedication devoted to this project by our faculty, staff, families, administration, students, and alumni.

Led by Head of School, Chris Burner, members of the Board of Trustees and strategic planning committee focused on the school’s mission and vision for the future. The committee identified four areas for strategic attention – students, teaching, facilities, and finance and advancement.

Developing a strategic plan is a thoughtful deliberative exercise, and the COVID-19 pandemic informed our work. The plan is a student-focused, forward-thinking document with clear and direct goals to guide the work of the Board and Administration in the years to come. Strategic Plans are developed to create opportunities to lead the school into a bigger and brighter future, and this plan does just that. I look forward to all that is accomplished in the years to come.
