Strategic Planning

A strategic plan is the bridge that takes a school from its mission to its vision. The CSM planning process looks deeply into all aspects of school operations to identify strategic opportunities in consideration of changing market conditions and circumstances so that plans can manage change and accommodate dynamic growth.
