Governance
The Board of Trustees is the legal and authorising body of the International School of Zanzibar (ISZ). ISZ is a not for profit school and the Board consists of a minimum of five parent volunteers elected by members to govern the School.
The board’s primary objective is to ensure all children receive the best possible education regardless of race, gender, religion or nationality, and to foster international understanding, respect and interaction. To protect and to ensure the continued existence and success of the School.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for recruiting a Head of School who is delegated the academic management and executive administration of the School. The Board of Trustees does not intervene in day-to-day operations of the School, except in instances at which, at the Board’s sole discretion, it deems that policy issues are at stake. The Board sets goals for the Head of School and monitors and evaluates progress.
The Board of Trustees meets regularly. The meetings are open to the general community.
