Board of Directors

Providing Sound Direction

The FIS is shaped by the people who contribute their time, experience and perspectives to our community. Our Board of Directors shares a commitment to the school and to creating the conditions in which our students, staff and wider community can thrive.

Strong governance is an important part of building a school that is ready for the future. With a long-term perspective, the Board helps the FIS to navigate change, embrace new opportunities and continue to evolve as a strong and forward-looking international school.

About the Board

Pictured here are members of the Board and the Extended Leadership Team

The FIS Board of Directors is made up of members elected by parents and sponsoring companies to represent the school community in its governance. Serving on a voluntary basis, Board members bring a range of professional backgrounds, perspectives and expertise to support the continued development of the school.

Working closely with the Head of School and the Extended Leadership Team, the Board helps shape the Mission, Vision and long-term strategic direction of the FIS. It is also responsible for the school’s financial sustainability, including establishing the annual budget, and for ensuring the responsible stewardship of the school’s resources and facilities.

Through this work, the Board helps create the conditions for the FIS to develop sustainably and continue providing a strong international education for our community.
