A strategic plan is vital for The Briarwood School’s success. In 2023, we engaged stakeholders to create a plan focusing on fortifying our foundation and fostering innovation. This plan establishes eight cultural pillars to guide our operations and reaffirms our commitment to empowering students with learning differences to reach their full potential.
The four main focus areas outlined in the plan represent the objectives and initiatives at The Briarwood School. Over the next five years, our school will prioritize action in these areas:
To effectively communicate and collaborate with professionals who refer prospective students and serve current families, prospective families, alumni, potential participants in future programs, this also includes prospective faculty/staff, donors, and various other external audiences.
To establish strong and productive partnerships with parents and families, fostering open and transparent communication to ensure that parents and families are actively engaged in the educational process and well-informed about their children’s progress and our initiatives.
We will effectively create spaces to serve current students, building-users, and the future of the schools.
We will undergo changes in programming designed to align with our expertise, ensuring increased effectiveness in delivering individualized attention and improved educational outcomes for every student.
The Briarwood School is committed to providing a diverse, inclusive and equitable learning experience for our students.We value the diversity of the community and will continue to celebrate, engage, reach and retain as well as explore differences in experiences based on, but not limited to, racial, socioeconomic, gender, age, country of origin, culture, sexuality, physical ability, and religious diversity amongst our staff and students. We promote acceptance of learning differences and disabilities and celebrate the many positive experiences and viewpoints that diversity brings to our school community in all of its forms. Our respect for diversity is reflected in our mission, programming, community involvement, admissions, and hiring practices.
