2009-2012 Strategic Plan
In 2006, the MSL community, led by the board, launched a strategic planning process that resulted in five focus areas.
- Strategic Focus 1: Relocate the school to a facility that is more conducive to the full implementation of Montessori principles and pedagogy.
- Strategic Focus 2: Recruit a Montessori-certified adolescent educator who will lead the growth of the program to stability and success.
- Strategic Focus 3: Grow school's revenue base from development/fundraising initiatives from 5% to 20% within 3 years
- Strategic Focus 4: Build a competitive compensation structure to assist in recruiting and retaining quality staff
- Strategic Focus 5: Identify, prioritize and acquire technology to support curricular goals and administration of program.
The MSL community aims to convene committees to develop the next phase of strategic planning in the summer of 2012.
