Dear Agnes Irwin
School Community,Since its founding in 1869, The Agnes Irwin School has provided an exceptional educational experience that launches young women on their journey to self-discovery. The school intentionally creates a culture of academic excellence that empowers each girl to learn, to lead, and to live a legacy.
What sets The Agnes Irwin School apart is our commitment to the holistic development of each girl and our approach to encouraging students to make connections in learning, to think creatively, and to forge her own path. AIS challenges each girl to be her best self and is a community where girls cheer each other on, champion everyone, and nurture relationships.
The life-changing events of the past several years have prompted reflection on the commitments that we must make to enhance best practices in teaching and learning, and to authentically model the principles of equity and belonging in our actions and policies. Building upon a long-standing foundation of academic excellence and expertise in girls’ education, we are poised to meet the needs of each student in an ever-changing world and this plan illustrates how.
To that end, I’m thrilled to present our 2022-2027 strategic plan: “A Boundless Vision of Success.” This plan aligns our mission and activates our core values. Moreover, it inspires our community around clear priorities that will ensure every girl achieves her own boundless vision of success. To achieve our fullest potential as a school, we will engage all members of the community to bring this plan to fruition. I hope you’re as excited as I am for what’s to come.
