The Dream, Dare, Do Vision
Genesis of the Vision
Progress of Strategic Plan
 

After two years of strategic planning work that included all Laurel constituencies, Laurel School's
DREAM, DARE,
DO VISION was born. 

The strategic plan is comprised of six "vision elements" (in bold below). 

One of the nation's premier girls' schools, Laurel already has so much that contributes to the realization of these guiding vision elements.  Where we felt there was more work to be done to ensure that a vision element is fully in place, we have crafted specific strategic initiatives

These strategic initiatives are identified in italics below the relevant vision element.

Click on each Vision Element below to get more detailed information on that particular portion of the strategic plan.
