Governance and Funding

Governance of the School

Ultimate responsibility for The Holistic Education Elementary School rests with the Board of Directors. However, we employ Dr. Scott H. Forbes as the school principal who oversees the day to day issues, as well as providing guidance in teacher development.

Governance within the school and within each learning group is based on cooperation and partnership. Students are not seen as the lowest link in the chain of command, but as participants (within what is possible and advisable for their developmental stage) in the creation and maintenance of order. We see learning to participate in governance with partnership and cooperation as crucial to developing social responsibility and self-governance, both of which are fundamental to a young person's full development.

Funding

The Holistic Education Elementary School is a non-sectarian 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has been created through the generosity of private donors.

If you would like to contribute to any part of The Holistic Education Elementary School, especially the scholarship fund, your generosity would be much appreciated.
