School Development Plan (SDP)

The NIS “School Development Plan” (SDP) is an action plan which represents a synthesis of the goals and tasks that were identified in the most recent CIS and WASC self-study and final team report, the various PYP, MYP and DP authorization/validation processes and our own strategic and operational planning. These are the key areas of focus which, if comprehensively addressed, will ensure that we can deliver our mission.

After the successful completion of “Strategic Planning” in the 2022-23 school year (a months-long process of meetings led by an outside facilitator with various focus groups that included students, parents, staff and board members) the school emerged with a new vision for the future. This process resulted in a Strategic Plan which defines three core strategies with related driving core ideas and intended results.

The annual goals of the School Development Plan align to the Strategic Plan and fall into four focus areas: (1) Learning; (2) Well-being; (3) Human Resources; and (4) Facilities, Resources & Operations. The goals selected for 2024-25 are those which we believe will have the greatest impact on attaining success in our strategic plan overall.
