Springmont's Strategic Plan
During the 2024–25 school year, we undertook the important work of developing a strategic plan to guide Springmont’s future. This plan is designed to focus the efforts of our board and administration on the priorities that matter most to our school’s continued success. It also aims to unite our community around shared goals rooted in our mission and vision. Key focus areas include fostering meaningful community engagement, ensuring the sustainability of our finances and facilities, deepening our commitment to creating an inclusive and equitable environment, and strengthening our dedication to authentic, high-quality Montessori education.
A vital part of this process was engaging our community. We gathered extensive input throughout the year, including 130 parent survey responses and participation from over 120 individuals in our in-person listening and planning sessions. A pivotal moment was our day-long planning workshop in December 2024, where we began shaping our strategic priorities together.
We invite you to explore the updated plan—and join us as we bring this shared vision to life.
