Empowering Excellence: A Strategic Plan for Maryvale Preparatory School
(2026-2029)
As a pacesetter in educating young women for life, Maryvale is committed to excellence and continuous growth across these five strategic priorities. Our three-year strategic plan identifies specific actions we will undertake to develop thoughtful leaders who serve and change the world.
Dear Maryvale Community,
We are proud and excited to share this strategic plan to guide our direction and priorities for the next three years, and to serve as the foundation for a continuous strategic planning process for Maryvale.
For more than 80 years, Maryvale has provided an exceptional education and prepared young women for life. Enduring institutions like ours develop a keen understanding of what to change and what not to change. In this strategic plan, we reaffirm our mission and values grounded in the Hallmarks of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and Catholic teaching. And, we reaffirm the importance of community as a distinguishing centerpiece of the Maryvale experience across generations.
Openness to change and renewal is also essential to prepare young women to lead in a dynamic, challenging world. This plan outlines our commitment to a rich educational experience spanning technological, artistic, athletic, social, economic, and civic advancement -- with a student experience centered around faith, leadership, service, wellness, and community.
We hope you share our excitement and confidence about Maryvale’s future as we build on the foundation of today’s success and momentum and our storied 80-year history.
