A Different School of Thought: Strategic Plan 2026-2036
Greenwood is built on a different school of thought.
We’re a co-ed school focused on community, connections and character, where teachers create a high challenge, high support environment that helps students reach their own definition of success. With an Adviser Program built into the curriculum and countless opportunities to engage with each other, the community, and the outdoor world, there’s no place like Greenwood. And that’s why there’s nothing like a Greenwood student.
We spent the last year listening to students, alumni, staff, parents/guardians and past families in order to strengthen how we deliver key differentiators. We heard from our community that Greenwood students experience transformational growth in their time at our school – and we want to ensure this continues well into the future.
Our 2026-2036 Strategic Plan: A Different School of Thought outlines the vision, key differentiators, enablers and initiatives necessary to ensure Greenwood continues to achieve its mission.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
