Strategic Plan
ON THE HORIZON: JOURNEY TO 2028
In 2023, Gillispie School brought together faculty, staff, parents, and trustees to create a bold five-year strategic plan. Journey to 2028 outlines three core priorities that will guide our commitment to inspiring, hands-on, interdisciplinary education in La Jolla:
- Inclusion
- Well-being
- Innovation
These pillars ensure that every Gillispie student continues to thrive in a nurturing, forward-thinking learning environment.
OUR THREE STRATEGIC GOALS:
PROGRAM – Preparing Students for a Changing World
In today's dynamic environment, we equip students with the academic foundation to become self-directed learners. We cultivate a growth mindset and an innovator's spirit, defined by curiosity, creativity, empathy, ethical problem-solving, resilience, critical thinking, and learning from mistakes.
COMMUNITY – Thriving Together
We believe an inclusive community is a strong community. Our strategic plan addresses our school’s evolving needs for connection through initiatives promoting emotional and physical well-being, accessibility, and a true sense of belonging.
SPACE – Our Campus Reflects Our Values
Our strategic direction focuses on preparing our campus for growth and flexibility. This involves enhancing our programs, nurturing our community, and exploring enrollment configurations while maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety and security.
