Preparing students for a strong future requires purposeful planning.
Preparing students for a strong future requires purposeful planning.
Moorestown Township Public Schools strives to provide the best education and opportunities for all students. Now, working alongside our community, we will develop a three-year strategic plan for Moorestown schools to continue building on our legacy of success.
MTPS’s last strategic plan, which was implemented in 2019, prioritized development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills; social and emotional learning; and communication among internal and external audiences.
The input we gather through sessions and surveys during the strategic planning process will help determine MTPS’s approach to teaching, learning and leading the school district. Specific areas of focus will include academic programs, curriculum, community engagement, budget priorities, and the role of technology in our schools. The plan will serve as a blueprint to guide the actions and decisions to maintain and, in some cases, enhance educational excellence.

THE SURVEY

All community members are encouraged to complete an online survey that asks about the district’s strengths and challenges, and what we should prioritize in the near future.
Students are important stakeholders and will be included in the strategic planning process. They will be asked to share their thoughts on ways to create a sense of belonging in their school and how they like to learn.
We expect these simple questions to produce powerful insights.
