In June of 2022, Park’s Board of Trustees adopted a comprehensive strategic plan. As summarized in the graphic below, the plan was designed across six domains: Philosophy, Program, People, Physical Plant, Funding Pipelines, and Promotion. The graphic’s visualization of the plan as a turning wheel is key to the Board’s strategic vision. The domains are interdependent so that the school’s success is predicated on each working together as an ecosystem so that, properly resourced and executed, the school will reach a new, sustainable equilibrium. The result should be increased enrollment; a stable and fulfilled faculty; and generations of students who attend the college of their choice and conduct careers of purpose where they are solving problems for their communities. In one year, Park has made measurable progress within each domain. There is so much work going on in each of these categories, but at a very high level as described on the next page. Philosophy People Program Physical Plant Pipeline Promotion Each of the six tenets informs the others; all are essential to the success of the Plan for PARK. Articulate and ensure that the distinctive educational principles of our School, which are more relevant than ever for young people as they face the challenges of the 21st century, are understood by all and influence everything we do. Align and support all programs to ensure they promote critical thinking and academic excellence, while carrying out the school’s mission and giving our students a rich, comprehensive experience. Deliberately nurture a diverse and inclusive school community and install administrative and financial structures to attract talented students, staff, faculty and trustees. Devote requisite resources to the design and maintenance of the campus and its buildings so that they support Park’s programmatic offerings and can be leveraged for additional revenue. Commit to strategically leverage the school’s resources to create additional revenue streams that defray the costs of its core educational programming. Take ownership of, craft, and share Park’s story to accurately demonstrate how the School lives its values. Strategic Plan: Progress, Percentages, and Opportunities The Park School's 7
