Strategic Plan
One School. One Community. One FDR.
From the very beginning, the development of Colegio Roosevelt’s Strategic Plan was a collaborative effort—a true partnership where faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, and trustees all had a voice in shaping the future. What unfolded was a deliberate journey, beginning in August 2024, grounded in listening and inclusion, and taking the time necessary to ensure the work was done with care and purpose. With clear roles and leadership, the Board offered stewardship to keep the plan strategic and future-focused, while diverse voices across the community contributed essential perspectives—modeling best practice in action. The process itself reflected an innovative approach, forward-looking and worthy of FDR as a leading learning institution, an example for independent schools worldwide. In many ways, it became a unifying moment—bringing the community together even in a time of global and local challenges. Out of this work emerged a shared understanding, where the pillars, priorities, and guiding principles were not only embraced but seen as interdependent and mutually reinforcing. At its core, the plan is student-centered, strengthening FDR’s mission to prepare students to thrive in a changing world while staying true to its core values. It will be a lived experience, visible in classrooms, on playing fields, in the arts, in family partnerships, and in daily decisions. Designed with future-ready depth, the plan captures both the complexity of who FDR is and the clarity of where it is headed—ensuring resilience and agility in the years to come. It also carries an expectation of shared accountability, reminding us that this is not the end of the journey, but the beginning, and its success depends on collective commitment. More than a plan, it is a collective vision—the united voice of the Roosevelt community, elevated and guided by the vision of Superintendent Patti Marshall.

At Colegio Roosevelt, inspired learning is grounded in our learning principles and lived through experiences that ignite curiosity, courage, and creativity. Inspired learning means offering experiences that are not only rigorous but also relevant and meaningful to the learner, cultivating both intellectual growth and personal discovery. These experiences ensure our students go beyond content-centered learning and develop resilience to confidently voice their values, the values of a Condor.
- This pillar and priority empowers our community to challenge assumptions and to confidently express their voice in ways that shape their learning and their world so they can grow and thrive. With the dispositions of our transdisciplinary skills in action, we will be invited to explore, discover and pursue by thinking critically, asking bold questions, and creating new possibilities.
- This pillar and priority calls us to align our curriculum, expand and diversify our programming, and to strengthen educator practice so that every learner’s journey is coherent and purposeful. With signature programs, diverse pathways, and experiential opportunities, Condors will be encouraged to explore their passions and stretch beyond their comfort zones to grow as individuals and as lifelong learners.
Pillar - Caring and Connected Community
XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxx Priority - Cultivate a community of care, trust, and service that fosters belonging, strengthens relationships, supports well-being, and honors the diverse identities and contributions of every community member.
At the heart of Colegio Roosevelt is a vibrant community defined by its’ Mission promise and the belief sets of its’ Core Values. With this shared purpose, A Caring & Connected Community affirms our belief that collective community belonging is grounded in our commitment to ensure every member of our community feels known, valued, seen, and heard. When students, families, faculty, and staff feel known, valued, seen, and heard, they are able to bring their best selves forward. A caring and connected community does not happen by chance—it is built intentionally, through mutual trust, by honoring the unique contributions of every individual so every individual thrives.
- This pillar and priority will cultivate a community that embraces care as both a mindset and a practice to ensure that Colegio Roosevelt is a place where everyone belongs. Together, we will create a community where well-being is prioritized, voices are elevated, and service to others strengthens the bonds between us.
- This pillar and priority focuses on strengthening relationships across every layer of school life. For families, this means consistent, inclusive engagement—workshops, connected coffees, and onboarding programs that create authentic partnerships between home and school. For students, this means voice, agency, and cross-cultural collaboration through advisory, counseling, and student-led initiatives that foster compassion, responsibility, and intercultural competency. For faculty and staff, this means a culture of collaboration and wellness where educators feel supported, respected, and empowered to grow.
Pillar - Innovative and Future Focused Ecosystem
XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxx Priority: Build an agile, one-school ecosystem that inspires innovation, where community members embrace change, experiment boldly, and prepare for the opportunities and challenges of the future.
The future our students will inherit is complex, fast-changing, and filled with both challenges and opportunities.

This pillar is about more than technology or facilities—it is about innovation and adaptability across every part of our school ecosystem. By embracing change and experimenting boldly, we ensure that our students graduate ready to shape the future.
