Vibrant Community & Connection
Pillar 3Vibrant Community & Connection
The values of Shore’s Community Code call on members of our community to deepen relationships, understanding, and connectedness among our students, faculty and staff, families, and ultimately the wider community. The Strategic Plan calls for increased programming to honor the distinct role of our House System, the exploration of additional gathering spaces, and an investment in faculty and staff well-being to strengthen the interconnectedness of our community. By sharing our expertise with the public, Shore will reinforce its position as the thought leader in early, elementary, and middle school education north of Boston.
– Cordelia Fasoldt P’31, ’34
“As a parent, I have been nothing but impressed by the wonderful faculty and staff at Shore. I feel strongly that investing in their development and well-being directly impacts not only the classroom experience, but is paramount for the long-term success of Shore.”
Initiatives
Student Connection & Mentorship
Grow the leadership role of Upper School students within our community. Develop shared experiences that build community across all grades, and evaluate opportunities to expand meaningful experiences through the beloved House System.
Connected Community
Create opportunities for community gatherings in spaces such as a renovated Birdcage, encouraging more in-person connections between parents on Shore’s campus, and drawing alumni to visit.
Engaged Faculty & Staff
Cultivate a supportive and empowering campus culture that values contribution and connection. Expand recruitment, retention, and mentorship strategies to support new faculty and staff, and a long-range, robust professional development model that supports educational excellence and professional growth.
A Culture of Inclusion & Belonging
Sustain and deepen a committed culture of inclusion, belonging, and equity, leveraging existing and established employee, family, and Board of Trustee committees to sustain progress and develop long-term goals.
An Educational Hub
Establish a parent education series focused on developing healthy habits around drive, excellence, and balance, that supports the school-to-home partnership while opening up these offerings to the greater community.
Engage Alumni
Strengthen relationships and engagement opportunities with Shore alumni and families to increase the vitality of Shore’s network by forming new partnerships, celebrating the talents of alumni, and creating a wider Shore community of connection both on campus and beyond.
