Leadership & Governance

Per our Bylaws, the Board of Governors is comprised of not less than 5 and not more than 12 persons (unless special approval is obtained from the members of the Society), all of whom are elected by the members of the Society. The members of the Society, in turn, are comprised of current and past members of the Board.  Elected Governors may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms. The Chair and Vice Chair each serve a maximum of five consecutive years in those roles.

The Board is typically comprised of past and current parents, selected on the basis of their business and community leadership. Applications for membership are considered for members of the Southpointe community who:

• Have demonstrated a continued interest in, and support of, the School;
• Possess skills and experience that complement the School’s strategic plan; and
• Have maintained continuous good standing in all business dealings with the School.

The election of new Governors takes place at a Special General Meeting of the Society each Spring. Upon their election, Governors automatically become members of the Society.

The Board is strategic in its mandate and does not get involved with day-to-day school operations, such as curriculum,  student discipline, building maintenance, or bussing. These areas, as well as anything else relating to daily school life, remain the sole purview of the Head of School and the Leadership Team.

At Southpointe Academy, we welcome parent participation; there are many opportunities for parent involvement throughout the school community. Parents can become involved either by volunteering their time or supporting our school events. For more information, please consult our Parent Portal.
