As AI reshapes work and higher education, preparing students for college is still necessary, but it is no longer enough. Young people will need a broader set of capacities to live good lives: to think well, relate well, choose wisely and contribute to their communities. For many independent schools, this means rethinking what their academic program is for.

This webinar is for school leaders ready to begin that conversation — and turn it into a plan. ISM’s Mike Gwaltney offers a practical roadmap for shifting your program’s focus toward human flourishing: gathering stakeholder input, updating your Purpose and Outcome statements, working with department chairs to integrate flourishing into existing courses, and building a multi-year academic plan. Throughout, you’ll consider how to lead the change well, support teachers with professional learning, and bring families along.

You will learn how to:

• Make the case to your community for why this shift can’t wait
• Gather stakeholder input on what flourishing means for your school’s mission
• Work with department chairs to integrate flourishing into existing courses
• Build a multi-year academic plan and lead the change with faculty and families
• Take concrete first steps in the next 90 days

This webinar is for:

School Heads, Assistant Heads, Academic leaders at all levels, Marketing and Communications Directors
