Board of Trustees

BoardAs a non-profit independent school, Meridian School is governed by a Board of Trustees whose members serve the School on a voluntary basis.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for:

  • assuring the relevance and fulfillment of the School’s mission
  • hiring, supporting and evaluating the Head of School
  • securing the financial sustainability of the School

The Board is responsible for the Head of School and its primary work is long-term and strategic. The Head of School, in partnership with School administration, is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the School. Board meetings are held on a regular basis throughout the academic year. The Board maintains a number of standing committees, on which parents and community members with relevant expertise serve.
