Strategic Plan
Key 360º
Just as a compass always points to true north, Key School strives to live up to our mission and values in all we do. Our true north is the purposeful alignment of our programs, resources, and practices with our mission to more effectively meet the evolving needs of our students.
Key 360°, Key’s current strategic plan, helps us navigate a path to tomorrow for our exceptional School, and, most importantly, supports and empowers each student on their personal learning journey.
The development of Key 360° was led by the Key School Board of Trustees and created with input from the entire Key Community (students, parents, alums, board members, faculty and staff, and parents of alums). A community survey (600+ respondents) and six listening sessions with stakeholders were a part of the plan’s development and refinement.
About Key 360°
Key 360° isn’t your typical strategic framework. Like a compass, Key 360° will guide the path forward, not determine the destination or prescribe the route. It is up to us, the Key Community, to choose the best route and adjust course along the way, secure in the knowledge that we will achieve our goals if we steer towards the priorities outlined in Key 360° and center our decision-making around the needs and well-being of our students above all else.
