UPrep's Mission, Vision, and Values are at the heart of everything we do. They are not empty words—our students and faculty/staff can recite them, and our alumni still remember them. We live by them on a daily basis and as we plan our future.

Strategic Plan

A BOLD VISION FOR THE FUTURE

In 2020, our head of school led an essential process with the Board of Trustees, in partnership with Greenwich Leadership Partners, to turn our forward-thinking vision into actionable items designed to keep the school on the edge of transformational change. All members of the UPrep community— faculty, staff, parents, students, and alumni—participated in surveys and shared valuable feedback that was included in this process. Together, we created Strategic Plan 2021: A Bold Vision for the Future.

Unlike most strategic plans that have a shelf life of five years, this plan was designed to be reviewed and, if necessary, updated at the yearly UPrep Board of Trustees retreat at the beginning of each school year. As the school grows and changes and as we add new facilities and more innovative programs, we will continue to make sure that the guideposts of this plan meet our needs.

Cultivate a culture of belonging as an essential condition for healthy learning and development

Boldly innovate new academic and co-curricular programs and practices to create transformative experiences now and into the future

Strengthen and evaluate curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, so that students consistently realize our commitment to educational excellence

Strategically develop talent to support strong leadership, excellence in teaching, and organizational capacity

Be intentional about who we are, to further elevate UPrep in the Seattle educational market
