STR ATEG IC PLAN: 202 2
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE is the ability to understand the feelings, emotions, and experiences of others as well as our own, developing healthy connections and relationships through self-reflection, outreach, and empathy. Our students will build community through strong and healthy relationships by developing an understanding of themselves, their emotions, and the perspectives of others. OUR PRIORITIES: • Ensure that all classes and activities at Severn include opportunities for students to prioritize their health through a comprehensive review of our curriculum. • Enhance how we equitably meet the social and emotional needs of our students, faculty, and staff by evaluating the intention and impact of our support programs. • Emphasize the importance of connection and relationships by creating new opportunities for community and togetherness. • Reinforce the ongoing social-emotional development of our students by offering education and support for families.
PERSONAL WELLNESS is the ability to find physical and mental balance through life experiences, successes, and disappointments, developing sustainable habits that lead to fulfillment and joy. Our students will learn to be well and live well at Severn by making choices that lead to mental and physical well-being. OUR PRIORITIES: • Integrate wellness education into all aspects of the Severn experience with lessons and activities that align with our wellness philosophy. • Teach students to be self-sufficient with practices that encourage prioritization, organization, efficiency, and purpose. • Reinforce the health and wellness of our students at home by offering education and support for families. • Nurture the mental, social, and emotional health and well-being of our community through maximized use of physical space.
We are just at the beginning of this essential shift and are excited about what the future holds for Severn School and, most importantly, our students. At Severn, we envision a world where education is about more than what you know — it’s about who you are. Please join our effort to reframe leadership for this generation and generations to come.
