PTIS International School Governance

Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning and PTIS International School draw on exceptional leadership

Achieving financial sustainability is an ongoing process that is part of our organization’s day-to-day management: in strategic planning, in administration and finances, in fundraising policies, and in the planning and implementation of strategies that enable us to generate our own income.

An eighteen-member School Board meets four times per year and is charged with overseeing the direction of PTIS International School. The Board reviews the operations, sets policies and fees and offers good counsel.

School Board members have a diverse background in fields such as law, journalism, architecture, export development and strategic planning.

The Board has various standing committees that meet at various times of the year and report at each board session.
