According to the Articles of the Association, the Board of Directors is authorized to govern the school.
The Board of Directors consists of nine Association Members and three non-voting, ex-officio members. Elected Board members serve a three year term, at the end of which they may stand for re-election to three more years. The governing responsibilities of the Board of Directors are the determination of top-level policy with a view to secure the integrity of the school mission; overview of school finances; and appointment, support and evaluation of the Head of School. The Board also anticipates the future needs of the school and plans for them by formulating short and long-term strategies. The overall goal of the Board is to hold the school in trust in order to preserve its viability for the future. Day-to-day operation, curriculum and administrative management of the school are outside the scope of the Board’s mandate and are, therefore, delegated to the Head of School.
The full Board meets regularly in closed meetings and up to three times per year with members of the Association. The work of the Board is brought into focus through the effort of several sub-committees on which Board members elect to serve.
