Education Leadership Team

The Educational Leadership Team (ELT) shares the work of understanding, shaping and advancing the vision for the academic program of the school to ensure that there is symmetry with the mission statement and continuity in students/families learning experiences. The ELT will collaborate with all faculty and staff to provide guidance, support, modeling, equity and leadership as we work together toward our shared vision.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the school’s governing body, as established in our bylaws, and is responsible for oversight and stewardship of the school's mission, management and support of the Head of School, and the school’s long-term financial sustainability. 

The Board is comprised primarily of current and past parents with expertise in various fields including finance, business, development, education, architecture, medicine, and law. All parents in the school are members of the Fayerweather Street School Corporation, and the Corporation is responsible for electing new parent Board directors each spring.
