Imagine Deerfield

We are pleased to announce that the Imagine Deerfield strategic plan was formally approved by the Board of Trustees in January of 2009. The final approved plan is available to view and download as a PDF (490kb).

An excerpt from the preface by Margarita Curtis, Head of School:

Deerfield’s future encompasses two equally important goals. The first is to preserve those values and traditions that distinguish our community and constitute the character of our students. The second is to prepare our students to lead in a competitive, technologically-driven world that requires new knowledge, competencies, and dispositions. The most challenging questions in our society no longer fall neatly within disciplinary lines, but often between and across them…

…The preservation of our long-held traditions and the spirit of Deerfield—even as we prepare our students for the exigencies of a new world—will take a concerted, collective effort, as well as additional resources. We will create a vision of our future that is consonant with the best of our past.
