Functioning

The Board of Directors is organized with an office which includes a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, elected from among the directors at the taking office meeting. Administrators work within committees to provide opinions or suggestions on technical issues.

The entire Board of Directors meets once a month with representatives of the administration (Principal, Primary School Directors, DAF/Manager) and three elected staff representatives (Administration, Primary, Secondary) in order to review investment projects, work in progress and control the school’s cash flow.


The Board of Directors is responsible to the parents of students, whom it informs at least twice a year of the decisions taken.

Like the representatives of the administration and staff, the Cultural Advisor at the French Embassy is an ex officio member of the Board of Directors; they all have a consultative voice.
