Strategic Plan

Always growing. Rivendell School strategic Plan.

These words define Rivendell School and our role as forward-thinking leaders in education and academic excellence. We believe learning and growing is never-ending. We know the more we expand our minds and offerings, the greater our life-long impact for students, families and our community.

That’s why we’re so excited to share with you our Strategic Plan. It is our map for prioritizing goals, embracing strategies for success, and finding new awesome ways to expand and elevate our important work. Ultimately, it is a plan for how we can best learn, grow and spread our wings.

As our Strategic Plan takes flight, we are focused on our strong foundation, exciting plans for the present, and a commitment to a sustainable future. These priorities ensure that we are always aligned with Rivendell’s unique values and culture.

Happy Rivendell student. Expand our school community.

PRIORITY ONE: PEOPLE

Expand Our School Community

We’re all for more people knowing how amazing Rivendell is! So, we’ll enhance and expand the services and opportunities we provide. We will increase our visibility to ensure more students can experience the unique and transformative benefits of a Rivendell education.


Happy Rivendell students. Investing in academic excellence.

PRIORITY TWO: PROGRAMS

Invest In Our Educational Experience and Academic Excellence

We’re for everyone finding their happy place here. That’s why we’ll support students, parents, faculty and staff in a way that demonstrates Rivendell’s dedication to an individualized and inclusive educational experience. And, we’ll quantify, qualify, and document the impact of a Rivendell education.


Happy Rivendell students. Building collaborative relationships.

PRIORITY THREE: PARTNERSHIPS

Build Collaborative Relationships

We know more brainpower is always the best. We are excited to engage members of our community to enhance our programming, our student experiences, and help us provide a unique learning environment that supports everyone.


PRIORITY FOUR: PLACE

Enhance Our Environment

Where students learn is a big part of how they learn. That’s why we’ll continue to nurture our welcoming and inspiring culture, grow our facilities, and enhance our environment to prepare our students to become citizens of the world.


In the spirit of always learning, this Strategic Plan will evolve. We’ll review, revise and update it over time to make sure it stays relevant and mission-focused. However, four priorities will always remain at the helm of this plan.
