Strategic Plan

Together We Shine: A Vision for Growth and Impact

With more than 60 years of history as a beloved Seattle institution, Epiphany School is well positioned to thrive for the next 60. Our new strategic plan builds on the school's many strengths: a legacy of innovation, high academic standards, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere in which every child is truly known.

Epiphany's new, five-year Strategic Plan is comprised of 20 different strategic commitments that ensure that the following will remain our top priorities:

Every Epiphany student experiences the joy of learning in a way that fosters curiosity, wonder, and a love of learning.

Every member of our community embraces a culture of experimentation and innovation, building confidence in our ability to adapt and grow.

A group of young students in Epiphany School uniforms are gathered around an adult, examining soil on the ground together.

Every member of our community develops a strong sense of integrity, accountability, and stewardship, recognizing that our choices impact ourselves and others.

Every initiative expands our reach and impact, ensuring more children benefit from an Epiphany education and our strong, diverse community.

Every member of our school community contributes to and benefits from a supportive and connective environment.

"Having taught at Epiphany for almost a decade, I have a lot of love for our beautiful campus. But students' needs change over time, and as an educator I'm so invigorated by the possibilities the new strategic plan will bring for our students, and for the students yet to come. The new campus master plan ensures we will all reap the benefits of facilities that match the quality of our exceptional educational program.”

“The new Strategic Plan is energizing—it gives us clear direction while staying true to who we are. It’s rooted in our values and focused on what matters most: educational equity, innovative teaching, service learning, and family partnership. It’s a continuation—and an elevation—of the great work already underway.”
