SHAPING NEXT, NOW:
EMPOWERING GLOBAL CITIZENS FOR TOMORROW
DEAR XWA COMMUNITY,
The future of XWA is bright, and I'm excited to share our new strategic plan with you: Shaping Next, Now: Empowering Global Citizens for Tomorrow. This plan will provide clear direction and focus for the actions we take to achieve our goals.
Our plan is the result of a year-long collaborative effort, incorporating the valuable insights and perspectives of students, parents, faculty, and staff. Your voices have been instrumental in shaping this exciting vision for our future.
OUR NEW STRATEGIC PLAN IS BUILT ON THREE CORE COMMITMENTS:
Advancing Excellence and Future Readiness
Building Connections Through Wellbeing and Inclusion
Igniting Culture and Leading Purposeful Change
These commitments are reflected in our vision to ASPIRE, ACT, GROW and our mission which is to empower an inclusive international community of happy learners who aspire to positively impact others.
I am confident that, together, we can achieve these goals and make XWA an even more exceptional place to learn and grow. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey.
Read on to discover how we're creating a school that empowers students to thrive in an everchanging world. We can't wait to embark on this journey with you!
