Strategic planning is a hallmark of the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District approach to good stewardship and excellence in education.

It all starts with identifying student needs for success in life - engaging the community with the Board and Administration in and effort to responsibly meet student needs through curriculum, staffing, infrastructure and all other necessary supports. 

Areas of Focus

2. Comprehensive Plan - A state mandated process, primarily focused on the curricular needs of students.
3. Curriculum Cycle - A UCFSD process of evaluating each area of curriculum on a 5 year cycle.
4. Class Size - School Staffing Standards - These administrative guidelines are in the UCFSD Policy Manual (Policy 126).
5. Comprehensive Counseling Program - Also a state mandated process, primarily focused on the academic, career, and personal/social development needs of our students.
