GROUNDED IN OUR GROWTH:
A Strategic Direction For Holderness School
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that uncertainty abounds and accountable flexibility is key to good planning. And while our strategic planning process began well before phrases like social distancing became part of our vocabulary, we had the foresight to explore a new way of strategic thinking. Holderness calls it strategic wayfinding, and it provides a unique framework. It has community, character, and curiosity at its core.
