We launched our strategic planning process in the Fall of 2022. A recent NEASC re-accreditation and Friends Council Self-Study helped us reflect on and evaluate our own programs and practices. Our previous Strategic Plan shaped our growth and recent middle school wing addition, fueled the direction of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts, and created opportunities for our faculty to develop as Quaker educators, among other aspects of FSP life it would now be easy to take for granted.
“Linda Ashe-Ford, a recently retired faculty member shared with me:
“We’re not a magic place – a lot of careful choices have led to what can feel like magic here.””
In the Fall of 2022, we partnered with Courtney Bourns, a consultant with Quaker education roots. She helped guide our community through the process beginning by forming a Strategic Plan Design Committee which was a cross-section of our broader community: board members, faculty, administrators, alumni, and parents.
Families, staff & faculty, students, graduates, board members, former board members, advisory committee members, and Friends were invited to share their thoughts, reflections, and hopes during a Community Visioning Session, Strategy Teams, listening sessions, and community surveys.
We invite you to hear about the process from a few people in our community. You can click on the images to hear about the process in their words.
