Strategic Plan

The International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC) remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence and global collaboration in the education of boys. Strategic planning is an ongoing process for IBSC, and this latest iteration represents the current work of the board to ensure the organization's sustained growth and relevance.

Through this Strategic Plan, IBSC seeks to advance, inclusively, the mission of the organization, assisting and connecting to our member schools and our related constituencies, most especially the boys we serve. The Strategic Plan sets the priorities and standards for the organization, enhances the culture of the IBSC environment and establishes the broad framework through which action steps are implemented, and endows the confidence and dexterity to adapt for that which lies beyond sight.

In deliberations with the IBSC board of trustees and staff, the Strategic Plan is organized under four goal areas that reflect each of the board’s committees: finance, membership, research, and trustee engagement, over a horizon of 2026–29. These specific committee goals were informed by the overarching officer goals to ensure institutional alignment at every level. The Strategic Plan is evaluated and updated regularly by the board of trustees to ensure that the organization is responsive to the most pressing needs of members and member schools.

This was approved at the IBSC Board of Trustees meeting on June 28, 2026.
