The Board is responsible for the management of the Association. It carries out the resolutions of the General Meeting held in the fall of each year, and is responsible for the finances of the Association. The annual budget is established by the Board and submitted at the General Meeting. The accounting records of the school are audited annually by an accounting firm. Work for the Association, either as a member of the Board, in advisory groups, committees or in any other ways is honorary.

The Board members are elected by the parents of the school community and by the sponsoring companies to represent them in the governance of the school. The Board establishes the mission, vision and philosophy of the school, in collaboration with the management team, and sets the school’s long-range goals.

The Board develops policies aimed at ensuring the safe, effective and efficient operation of the school. The Board delegates the responsibility of implementing these policies to the Director, in respect to the educational program, finances, personnel and day-to-day dealings with staff and students, and to the Head of Administration with respect to the areas of admissions, buildings, and maintenance.

The Board meets regularly as a group, and operates a series of sub-committees, (Finance, Policies, PR/Fund Raising, Facilities) which meet more frequently.
