Governing with Purpose

​

The Socrates Academy Board of Directors provides strategic oversight, establishes educational policy, and makes decisions related to academics, finances, and long-term planning. The Board also ensures the Academy meets performance standards, fulfills reporting requirements, and manages public funds responsibly.

The Board may include up to 11 educators, parents, business leaders, and community members who bring valuable experience and a shared commitment to the school’s mission. Members serve staggered terms to provide stability and continuity and complete all required background checks.

The Board focuses on governance and oversight, while the Head of School manages daily operations, staffing, programs, and administration.
