Strategic Vision

In the fall of 2023, Norfolk Collegiate’s community engaged in the process of setting a strategic vision for the future of our school. We began by asking ourselves what was important to our school today, what will be important tomorrow and how we secure the future we want for our community. We partnered with the Gowan Group, a nationally recognized leader in independent school planning and consulting, to help us address these existential questions. Focus groups, interviews, surveys and data analysis were all part of the process, resulting in Building an Even Better Collegiate, a vision for today’s and tomorrow’s generations of Collegiate students.

 

Our work on this vision will allow us to strategically approach the questions posed to our community by supporting our professional faculty, enhancing student Collegiate experiences and securing resources for the work of today and tomorrow.

 

For more than 75 years, Collegiate has been a leader in the ever-changing world of independent school education. We work to advance the school’s mission by creating opportunities and programs to help all students, faculty and staff grow and become doers, thinkers and explorers. As you flip through Building an Even Better Collegiate, you will see how we focus on the students in our care and you will see our commitment to deliver an excellent school experience for all students.

 

Our time-tested approach to education centers on three pillars: The Collegiate Education, The Collegiate Experience and Collegiate of the Future. This strategic vision shows why Norfolk Collegiate is a place our students and faculty thrive today and tomorrow.
