LOOKING AHEAD: Our Strategic Plan is Here.

We are pleased to share that the FPDS Board of Trustees has approved the school’s strategic plan, the result of months of thoughtful work, collaboration, and prayerful consideration.

This plan has been shaped by a dedicated working committee and an engaged oversight committee, including board members, the Head of School, and key administrators, with guidance from our consultants at The Canaan Group. The result is a clear and forward-looking vision for our school.

We invite you to join us as Matthew Bryant of The Canaan Group presents the strategic plan. Please plan to attend one of the following sessions:

Thursday, April 30 at 5:30 p.m. in Patterson Hall 

Friday, May 1 at 8:00 a.m. in Patterson Hall
