Force of Nurture
Strengthening the Power of Connection & Excellence

Force of Nurture

Our plan is a Force of Nurture. And so are we.

In our community, connection and excellence don’t just coexist; they strengthen each other. Students thrive thanks to our community of trusted adults and supportive peers, encouraging them to try new things and push the boundaries of what they thought was possible. This is our greatest strength and the truth behind what it means to be a Force of Nurture.

But don’t just take it from us—hear what this strategic plan means to our students, faculty, and community firsthand. 

Explore the Plan

See how we’re turning our aspirations into action.

We will build on our greatest strengths and continue to prepare students to emerge in the world as a Force of Nurture. The pillars set forth in this strategic plan will act as a roadmap and a commitment to the future we believe in—for the Govs community and for the world of secondary education as a whole.

Pillar 1

Cultivating Academic Opportunities

As the educational landscape shifts, so does our approach to delivering a cutting-edge curriculum that prepares students for success in the 21st century and beyond.

Pillar 2

Nurturing Our Community

Tackling new challenges and achieving excellence requires that students are healthy in all senses of the word—which is exactly why wellness at the Academy is so important.

Pillar 3

Deepening Our Sense of Belonging

When students feel like they belong, they are more likely to have the courage to take risks and try new things—from advanced courses to musical auditions to leadership positions.

A Message from our Head of School

Nurture builds our next generation.

Our students are able to achieve excellence academically, athletically, artistically, and personally because of our connection to each other. As you will see in Force of Nurture, our new strategic plan, we are prepared to demonstrate that our balanced approach to education should stand as the model for what is possible in the education of young people today. Join me in imagining the bright future of The Governor’s Academy.
