WHAT IS STRATFORD'S MISSION?
rough the relentless pursuit of excellence,
Stratford Academy strives to develop and
grow a student's mind, body and spirit in a
nurturing environment.
HOW HAS THAT MISSION SHIFTED
DUE TO THE PANDEMIC?
Initially, Stratford implemented our Distance
Learning Plan in order to complete the
2019-2020 school year. Over the summer,
all avenues were explored for virtual versus
on-campus learning. In August, the school
opened with our COVID-19 mitigation
efforts and protocols in place. Families were
able to opt-in to virtual learning if they chose,
but the majority of families selected in-person
learning. Our school community has been
committed to doing everything we can to
remain on campus, so we have been fortunate
to be able to provide our students with as
many normal experiences as possible.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?
Success does not always look the same in
every situation. Know what your measures are
before you start so that you can track, identify
and celebrate all aspects of finding success.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT:
We actually were classmates together at
Stratford (along with Stratford Chief Finan-
cial Officer Mollye Treadway and Head of
Preschool/Lower School Kelly Causey).
