澳门官方老葡京的未来愿景

To sustain our vision and move Ellis along a path of continued innovation and excellence, 我们的战略重点分为五类.

战略重点一:

加强和丰富我们的远见计划

最引人注目的, 和独特的, 澳门新葡新京官方经历的一个方面是女孩们因为在学校的经历而发展出的惊人特质. Ellis students emerge with remarkable qualities that not only prepare them well for college, but that launch them to become truly remarkable young women. 这些自然会形成四大支柱, as reflected in our mission and vision statements: being committed and ready to make a positive mark on the world; having great confidence and a strong voice; being caring, 开放, and authentic; and having deep intellectual vibrancy and power.

创造一个能够培养学生这些品质的学习环境,要求我们在规划课程时将这四大支柱放在中心位置. It also requires that we recruit and support outstanding faculty, 作为一个教学团体继续学习和成长, 不断完善我们的课程. 

我们知道,我们的学生将进入一个机遇和挑战并存的世界,这是我们任何人都无法想象的, 他们需要与各种各样的人合作,以便成功地抓住这些机会,并为这些挑战制定创造性的解决方案. The more experiences we can give them to tussle with unsolved problems, 在不同的团队中工作, 有信心承担适当的风险, 为自己和他人辩护, 更好的.

The wiser we are about understanding all the aspects of girls’ development, the more successful we will be in supporting their growth as healthy, 独立的, strong young women ready to step out into this ever-changing world.



我们将:

  • Focus the School’s programming on prioritizing girls’ growth around our four pillars

We are particularly proud of the diversity of our student body. 我们喜欢说,在澳门新葡新京官方没有唯一的出路, and that we all benefit from connecting with people who are both similar and different from ourselves. Our students come from throughout the Pittsburgh metropolitan region, 并带来了丰富多样的人才, 利益, 生活经验, 和个性. We are eager for more families and girls to know about Ellis, 探索我们的学校和项目, and to become members of this dynamic and welcoming learning community.

  • Enhancing intra-school communications about the entirety of the Ellis experience 
  • Examining opportunities for expanded early childhood programming


战略重点三:

营造模范校园氛围

当我们反思澳门官方老葡京的校园氛围时, we focus on our core beliefs around what is best for students and families. 其中一个根深蒂固的原则是,当儿童和青少年感到受欢迎和被了解时,他们学习和成长得最好, 并且可以完全做自己.

其次, 我们知道,当成年人在学校和家庭中与他们的学习联系起来,支持和挑战他们时,学生们就会茁壮成长, and when there is 开放 communication between families and teachers. Families are most confident about engaging in that kind of partnership when they, 太, 在学校感到受欢迎和熟悉, 当他们对女儿的发展阶段以及学校课程和教学法背后的潜在原因有充分的了解时. 

澳门官方老葡京的另一个核心原则是成为一个多元化和包容性的学校社区的价值. 我们不仅知道我们的学生受益于社区学习与他人谁带来不同的观点和经验, 但是,作为一所为了提高女性获得与男性同等机会的能力而建立的学校,这在当时是罕见的,我们对公平和正义的重要性有着坚定而长期的承诺,以使世界成为一个更美好的地方.

我们为最近在围绕公平和正义创建学校和社区为导向的倡议方面取得的成功深感自豪, and we strive to become even more compelling leaders in this work.

战略重点四:

加强我们项目的支持设施

We are fortunate to have a beautiful and welcoming campus rich in history, 同时还在不断发展,以支持我们对促进学生学习和社区联系的最佳方式的不断增长的理解.

We are particularly excited about recent updates to our most heavily used and cherished spaces, 包括图书馆和礼堂, both of which play a central role in the experiences of our students and families.  

Our future priorities related to campus facilities are clear. 我们致力于将我们的资源用于维护和创造物理空间,以优化学生的成长,并进一步实现我们成为一个欢迎和包容的学校社区的目标. 美丽的建筑和场地是美妙的, 但这就是在这些空间里发生的事情, 以及这些空间如何帮助建立社区, 这是最重要的.

  • Whenever possible, opt for environmentally sustainable construction

战略重点五:

确保长期财务健康

任何一所学校如果不把对学校未来财务状况的关注纳入战略计划,那就是疏忽了. 我们非常感谢我们扩展的澳门新葡新京官方社区以各种方式支持学校, and we take our role as stewards of that support very seriously. 我们致力于为学校的资金和运营制定清晰和可持续的计划,以支持我们对项目和学校社区的动态愿景, while guaranteeing a healthy financial picture for the foreseeable future.

Our priorities reflect our commitment in three key areas. 第一个, we believe it is crucial that we continue to be able to attract and retain outstanding faculty, 正如我们所知,教师是我们学生体验的核心——每天在澳门新葡新京官方的课堂上发生的事情, 以及师生关系, are what make Ellis the remarkable school it has been for over 100 years. 第二个, 我们致力于开发学费模式,使各种各样的家庭能够将他们的女儿送到澳门新葡新京官方. 最后, 我们相信,在我们所有的选民中建立一个强大的慈善文化,有助于加强那些关心的人之间的联系和社区意识, 和爱, 改变人生的学校.
