I’ve had to learn patience, I’ve had to learn delicacy —  you can’t put too much pressure on the clay or else it will fold and crumble — and Cushing does a great job of applying the right kind of pressure to help you become your best self. ”

## Strategic Priorities for Cushing Academy, 2025-2030

Over the past 10 years, Cushing’s campus has been transformed, with more than $100 million in capital improvements, including six new dorms and a new health and wellness center. Our endowment has grown from $29 million to over $84 million, and we have greatly expanded academic and student support services, especially those related to mental and physical well-being. 

[Our Common Journey](https://issuu.com/cushingacademy/docs/our-common-journey-strategic-priorities-for-cushin) builds on these milestones and successes. As a strategic document, it reflects the heart and soul of Cushing Academy, and is anchored by six key pillars:

- Strengthening Community and Belonging
- Developing Curious Learners
- Developing Confident Leaders
- Promoting Student Health and Well-Being
- Ensuring Long-term Sustainability
- Celebrating School Culture and Legacy
