GOVERNANCE

Our school operates with a collaborative Head of School leadership model, which works with the Board of Trustees and College of teachers to incorporate the voices and expertise of individuals with various roles throughout the school.

Leadership

The Head of School, Board Trustees, and College of Teachers each play different roles in school leadership. Collaboration means you’ll see faculty, administration, parents, alumni, and community members at the table together, consulting with each other to make the best decisions possible for our students.

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the legal, strategic, and financial realms of the school. They set tuition, develop our strategic plan, support fundraising efforts, and approve the school’s annual budget. Two faculty representatives sit on the Board as non-voting members. The Executive Committee of Board oversees and employs the Head of School.

Head of School

The Head of School is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the school in all areas including fiscal, legal, budgetary, and pedagogical. They supervise all faculty and administration and collaborate with the College of Teachers on pedagogical matters.

College of Teachers

The College of Teachers, a foundational aspect of Waldorf education, is responsible for setting and overseeing the school’s pedagogical goals and collaborates with the Head of School in matters of academic leadership.

COORDINATORS

COMMITTEES

&

We believe that departments are run best by the people who know them best. Our coordinators and committees are faculty members and administrators who hold the larger picture and ensure that everyone is working toward the same goals at the same standards.

  • The Pedagogical Coordinator is responsible for implementation and oversight of pedagogical goals in collaboration with College of Teachers and Head of School.

  • The STEM Coordinator is responsible for implementation and oversight of STEM curriculum and goals in collaboration with the Pedagogical Coordinator and Head of School.

  • Branch Coordinators in the Early Childhood, Lower School, and Upper School supervise and oversee faculty and staff within that branch and oversee branch activities and culture.  

  • Committees like the Festivals Committee, Proactive Health Committee, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are groups of faculty and administration responsible for making recommendations to the Head of School, Board of Trustees, and College of Teachers relating to their specific areas of focus.
