Over the past two years, Venerini Academy has been engaged in an intensive program of institutional assessment, reflection, and planning, to reimagine and define the kind of school we want to become, and to set the strategic course for our continued success and growth.
The fruit of this campus-wide discussion, Calling Forth Greatness, is a five-year plan that will guide us in achieving its ambitious goals in teaching and student learning, faith and character formation, student and community life, and institutional development and growth.
This plan flows from and reaffirms the values and commitments that inspired St. Rosa and the Venerini Sisters to begin their remarkable Catholic educational ministry in Italy almost 350 years ago. In this, our 75th year, Venerini Academy confidently looks forward, emboldened with a renewed mission and confident vision that will continue to lead our way.
We invite you to join us in this essential work.

 

Strategic Focus Areas:




“Called to Greatness”

The Venerini Academy Strategic Plan, is the fruit of a highly collaborative, year-long assessment process, gathering input from hundreds of stakeholders, crafting a bold vision for institutional development and growth, and finalizing a comprehensive plan that will guide our future. We are very grateful for the generous time and insight that so many people brought to this process, and are particularly appreciative of those listed below who actively guided our work as part of our Steering Committee and Planning Teams. 

We invite you to learn more about our strategic plan and our school’s essential mission of excellence in student learning and formation.
