BOARD OF TRUSTEES WELCOME

It is my honor to serve our school community as the Chair of the Board of Trustees and to be part of the dedicated team of administrators, educators, support staff, parents and volunteers who work so hard to engage, prepare and inspire our students. The Board has nine voting members. The U.S. Ambassador appoints the Chair. Our mandate is to fulfill the school’s mission by overseeing the strategic plan, budget and funding decisions, policy regulation, and director support.

The Board meets monthly, and has five standing committees that convene on a regular basis. These committees include Governance, Policy, Finance, Facilities, and Advancement. They are chaired by a member of the Board and are composed of parent representatives, school faculty, and students.

Thank you for your interest and participation as together we strive toward educational excellence.

Sincerely,

Abigail Misciagno Rupp
