School Council

The School is founded by an Association, which is governed by the School Council consisting of 7 Members who are elected at a General Meeting from among the members of the Association (parents). Each Council member serves for a two-year term, contributing to our school with the expertise and experience that they bring from their own professions.

The competence of the ISR School Council Members is defined in the Articles of the Association and Governance Handbook.
