Creating a learning environment that builds these qualities in our students requires that we keep those four pillars at the center as we plan programming. 它还要求我们招聘和支持优秀的教师, 作为一个教学团体继续学习和成长, 不断完善我们的课程. 

We know our students will enter a world in which they will encounter both opportunities and challenges that none of us can yet imagine, and they will need to work collaboratively with all sorts of people in order to succeed in seizing those opportunities and developing creative solutions to those challenges. 我们就能给他们更多的经验去解决尚未解决的问题, 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.

我们就越了解女孩发展的各个方面, 我们就越能成功地支持他们健康成长, 独立的, 强壮的年轻女性准备好踏入这个瞬息万变的世界.

We know our students benefit from being in the company of a wide variety of classmates who share their love of learning, 体贴善良, 他们渴望学习和生活所提供的冒险. 澳门新葡新京官方有吸引这类学生的悠久传统. 我们对学生群体的多样性感到特别自豪. 我们喜欢说，在澳门新葡新京官方没有唯一的出路, 我们都从与与自己相似或不同的人交往中受益. 我们的学生来自匹兹堡大都会地区, 并带来了丰富多样的人才, 利益, 生活经验, 和个性. 我们渴望更多的家庭和女孩了解澳门新葡新京官方, 探索我们的学校和项目, 成为这个充满活力和热情的学习社区的一员.

当我们反思澳门官方老葡京的校园氛围时, 我们专注于我们的核心信念，围绕什么是最好的学生和家庭. One of those deeply held tenets is that children and adolescents learn and grow best when they feel welcome and known, 并且可以完全做自己.

其次, we know that students thrive when the adults connected to their learning—at school and at home—work in partnership to support and challenge them, 当家庭和老师之间有开放的沟通. 家庭最有信心参与这种伙伴关系，当他们, 太, 在学校感到受欢迎和熟悉, and when they have a rich understanding of the stages of development of their daughters and the underlying reasons behind the School’s curriculum and pedagogy. 

Another core principle at 澳门官方老葡京 is the value of being a diverse and inclusive school community. Not only do we know our students benefit from learning in community with others who bring different perspectives and experiences, but—as a school founded in order to enhance the ability of women to access opportunities commensurate with men at a time when that was a rarity—we carry a fierce and long-held commitment to the importance of equity and justice in making the world a better place for all.

We are deeply proud of our recent successes in creating school and community-oriented initiatives around equity and justice, 我们努力成为这项工作中更有说服力的领导者.

我们有幸拥有一个美丽、温馨、历史悠久的校园, while still evolving to support our ever-growing understanding of the best ways to foster student learning and community connection.

我们特别兴奋的是，最近更新了我们最频繁使用和珍惜的空间, 包括图书馆和礼堂, 这两者都在我们的学生和家庭的经历中发挥着核心作用.  

我们未来与校园设施相关的优先事项是明确的. We are committed to putting our resources towards maintaining and creating physical spaces that optimize student growth and further our goal of being a welcoming and inclusive school community. 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.

Any school would be remiss not to include a focus on the financial future of the school in a strategic plan. We are deeply grateful for all the ways in which our extended Ellis community has supported the School, 我们非常认真地对待我们作为这种支持的管理者的角色. We are committed to developing clear and sustainable plans for the funding and operations of the School that will support our dynamic vision for the program and school community, 同时保证在可预见的未来有一个健康的财务状况.

我们的优先事项反映了我们在三个关键领域的承诺. 第一个, 我们认为，继续吸引和留住优秀教师是至关重要的, as we know that it is the faculty who are at the core of the experience for our students—what happens in classrooms at Ellis every day, 以及师生关系, 是什么让澳门新葡新京官方成为100多年来最杰出的学校. 第二个, we are committed to developing tuition models that make it possible for a diverse and compelling range of families to be able to send their daughters to Ellis. 最后, we believe that building a strong culture of philanthropy among all our constituents is instrumental in strengthening the sense of connection and community among those who care about, 和爱, 改变人生的学校.
