Progress Report: Our Future in Focus

In February of 2019, one hundred and twenty Shore community members came together for a strategic visioning day. Current families and employees, alumni and alumni families, and even former employees all leaned in to generate promising goals that would help Shore achieve the following vision:

“By 2025, Shore will be boldly reimagined to inspire a diverse community of global difference-makers.”

The Board of Trustees went on to approve a list of promising strategies in each of the three major areas of focus: n Breakthrough innovation in teaching n A diverse and accessible community n Increased financial stability While many schools might have paused during the last two years of global events, Shore bravely moved forward to begin executing strategies that were inspired by the vision created in 2019.

This issue of the Bulletin features the progress we have made (and continue to make) as a school as we strive to fulfill our vision for 2025. You will see profiles on two new hires who touch all three strategic areas; our Director of Instruction and Inclusion will help lead initiatives in classroom innovation and inclusion; and our Director of Revenue Development will lead Shore in identifying more diverse revenue streams to help generate surplus assets that allow us to invest in our student programming. You will read about approaches that activate student agency and that address social emotional wellness. It should be easy to see that while Shore continues to stretch itself to new heights, the hallmarks of a Shore education remain steadfast. Progress is as important as honoring the historical foundation on which our beloved school stands.
