| The Shefa School (Shefa) is the only Jewish school for students with language-based learning disabilities in the United States. Founded four years ago with just 24 students, Shefa has grown organically and consistently, now serving 110 students. However, without a plan to grow its physical and operational capacity, the school will be unable to accommodate the increasing number of students who can benefit from its curriculum and programming. Shefa enlisted a Capstone team to aid in the development of an effective growth plan to meet enrollment demand. The team performed a market analysis and a stakeholder analysis, which engaged parents, feeder schools, and service professionals in the held. With the results, the team provided recommendations for a growth strategy that will serve as the groundwork for the school’s five-year strategic plan. |
