The Strategic Plan: Caedmon 2027 and Beyond...

The Caedmon team will design, articulate, and institute a signature individualized experience for young children that can be shared beyond the schoolhouse.

This will serve as an authoritative model of progressive, child-centered, Montessori learning. It will provide cohesive experiences, known by the faculty, PreK through Elementary.

The learning will include clear, adaptive pathways for diverse learning opportunities, while maintaining academic excellence.

The robust academic program will provide a model for meeting the strengths and needs of each learner and enabling all students to thrive in their school programs.

Caedmon’s teachers are both highly skilled and bring an artist’s vision to Caedmon classrooms. We will create a professionalized model of growth that develops faculty leadership and expertise; it will be designed to guarantee faculty appreciation.

The school’s professional environment will inspire highly motivated, engaged, and talented faculty; Caedmon teacher retention will remain exceptional and new teachers will want to join the faculty.

Caedmon will be recognized as a premiere NYC Montessori Progressive School for young children’s education, providing a unique educational experience.

In 2027, models such as caedmonteacher.edu and The Caedmon Teacher Academy will be a known as a source for elementary and preschool curriculum and learning.

Equity and a sense of belonging is baked into the DNA of Caedmon’s community – all members need to feel seen, heard, and needed.

The school will ensure that Caedmon's trademark identity as "warm and welcoming" is the lived experience of all students and families.

Well-rounded critical thinkers will be nurtured in a school environment where children can see the world reflected in the dynamic diversity of the school’s community. We will establish Caedmon's presence outside of its current neighborhood.

Caedmon will leverage the community to enroll families beyond our geographic address and create tools like caedmonteacher.edu to establish the school’s character and commitment. Caedmon’s definition of “neighborhood” will be a global one.

Caedmon will examine, invest in, and re-imagine all aspects of their physical plant and facilities, expanding Maria Montessori's standard of the "prepared environment." We will take advantage of our schoolhouse, our community, and program to attract and retain families from all over NYC.
