The Future:
Clairbourn School's Strategic Plan — “Clairbourn Forward”

Clairbourn Forward is the result of 18 months of thinking, dreaming and envisioning the future of Clairbourn School.

 
The Strategic Plan, Clairbourn Forward, commits us to move with purpose toward our stated goals and keeps us focused on the steps required to achieve these goals. We continue our mission of Creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart while inspiring engaged learners, critical thinkers and empathetic leaders to embrace the next phases of their education and lives with an open mindset, gratitude and purpose.
 
We are grateful for the collaborative effort from everyone in our community including parents, alumni, faculty, staff, students and trustees. The community contribution showed a strong commitment to Clairbourn’s vision and future goals. In the spring of 2024, the Clairbourn Board of Trustees approved the proposed plan, and we began to implement our vision for the future of Clairbourn.
 
 
As we begin this transformative journey, we invite you to support our efforts in making Clairbourn Forward our guide in the years to come!
