Building Upon Our Local Heritage
Charting Our Global Future
 Dear
Collegiate Community,
Last January, Louisville Collegiate School
initiated the development of a new, five-year strategic plan.
Throughout the year-long process, the goal has been to identify
and build upon the intersection of our school’s mission
and its market opportunity, to fully develop Collegiate’s
core competencies in a manner that advances the institution
and differentiates it within a competitive school market.
 At
the outset of the planning process, Collegiate engaged the
services of a respected planning facilitator, Ian Symmonds
of Ian Symmonds and Associates (Portland, Oregon), to assist
with our initiative. In order to ensure broad-based collaboration,
a formal Steering Committee was created that included students,
parents, alumni, administration, faculty and Board of Trustees
members. Membership of the Steering Committee is shown
here.
Ian Symmonds and the Steering Committee conducted
extensive research and analysis regarding Collegiate’s
enrollment, admissions, demographics, curriculum and factors
unique to our current landscape. Surveys and interviews were
initiated with all stakeholders including students, parents,
alumni, administration, faculty and external community leaders.
Through this process, the Steering Committee was able to identify
a concise
set of core institutional values and a Positioning Platform,
through which all subsequent work was focused.
The twenty-six member Steering Committee
embraced the newly defined Positioning Platform and moved
forward to create the twelve subcommittees detailed below.
A full roster of sub-committee members can be referenced
here.
• Academic Affairs/Curriculum
• Marketing/Communications/Positioning
•
Finance
• Technology
• Institutional
Advancement/External Relations
• Faculty Growth/Evaluation/Compensation |
• Extra-curricular
•
Student Life
• Community
• Facilities
• Goverance
• Authoring |
Armed with a relevant Positioning Platform,
and guided by the Steering Committee, each subcommittee undertook
a series of exercises aimed at identifying, quantifying and
developing specific goals, initiatives and action steps related
to the subcommittee’s area of responsibility.
The result of this extensive, collaborative
planning effort is a new five-year strategic plan for Louisville
Collegiate School; a focused list of seven strategic goals,
each supported by meaningful initiatives and specific action
steps.
On behalf of the entire strategic planning
team, we are pleased to present Louisville
Collegiate School’s five-year Strategic Plan.
