Why Choose Bethany School?
At Bethany School, our commitment to teaching children goes beyond the classroom. As a community, we help them build strong character and find their sense of purpose. We value respect and diversity and aim to create a joyful environment where play and discovery help cultivate a love for learning. Come see what makes Bethany School a truly special place to learn and grow.
The Board of Trustees at Bethany School is responsible for:
- Fiduciary Oversight
- Monitoring the school mission
- Strategic planning
- Hiring, evaluating and supporting the Head of School
The Board vests its authority in the Head of School to implement policies and to run the day-to-day operations of the school.
Trustee meetings are held bi-monthly during the school year. Board Committees which include trustees, administrators, and others who are invited to attend, typically meet monthly. These committees include Finance, Buildings and Grounds, Diversity, Development, and Governance. An Executive Committee is comprised of the President of the Board, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and the Head of School.
The Board is made up of 17 people that includes three non-voting members:
- Head of School
- Legal Advisor
- Faculty Representative
It also includes three Ex Officio positions
- Head of School
- Sister Superior of the Society of the Transfiguration
- President of BEAP (parents’ association)
If you are interested in learning more about the board of trustees, or are interested in possibly serving on the board, or if you know someone who may be interested, then please contact our Head of School (513-771-7462 ext. 1102).
